Looking for some feedback on my school list! Thanks for any help!
- cGPA: 3.99 and sGPA: 4.0
- MCAT: 516, 129 for all sections
- Country/State of Residence: US, FL
- Ethnicity/Race: Hispanic/White (Venezuelan, don’t speak Spanish)
- Undergraduate institution: State public school
- Clinical experience:
- 120 hrs at a free clinic taking patient vitals/scribing (most meaningful)
- 75 hours hospice volunteer working with multiple patients.
- Research experience:
- 650 hours in aging/nutrition research lab (most meaningful). No poster/pubs, very long projects with 3+ year estimate for gathering enough data. Completed 3 projects.
- Presented literature review poster for environmental sustainability at Florida Honors collegiate meeting (60 hours).
- Shadowing: 40 hours primary care and 40 hours various specialties (anesthesia, ortho, plastics, GI, etc.)
- Non-clinical volunteering: None
- Other extracurricular activities:
- President of Pre-Med club, officer for over a year. Have grown the club significantly in the past year and frequently collaborate with Mayo Clinic medical students in Jax.
- Treasurer of the Cooking club.
- Supplemental Instruction leader and Student Academic Success Leadership Team employment (1100 hours total) (most meaningful).
- Relevant honors:
- Member of the Hicks Honors College
- Dean’s list every semester
- Awarded Transformation Learning scholarship for research.
- Anything else not listed you think might be important:
- A big part of my personal statement highlights my battle with debilitating Tourette’s syndrome from age 11-16. Tics are now completely under control and are barely noticeable/do not impact any part of my daily functioning.
- Research/volunteer hours are low due to COVID. My county was one, if not the hardest hit in South Florida and my nuclear family imploded during the pandemic, meaning I had to stay home away from my campus in North Florida.
- Keeping any specialty on the table but interested in primary care and anesthesia.
