WAMC/school list. 515, big ten D1 swim, 3.67.

[official_ artyom]

Hi, thanks for taking a look. I appreciate any input you may have.

-Undergrad gpa is a 3.67. Not entirely sure how this part works, but I think with my hs dual enrollment classes my amcas gpa will be more like a 3.7, though correct me if I'm wrong

-MCAT is a 515, one attempt

-Wisconsin resident. ORM

-350 hours of virtual scribing. I know this doesn't look amazing, but its been a pretty good experience and I'm able to talk quite a bit about it. I've worked with one Dr. the whole time who will be writing me a LOR.

-100 hours hospice volunteering, with possible LOR from the volunteer coordinator.

-50 hours general pediatrics volunteering. Mostly just hanging out with the kids there who are often alone or bored.

-Research: 45 hours in lab for a one-semester research-for-credit type thing. Obviously quite weak, I'm debating even including this. The research was focused on plants and climate change.

-Shadowing: Very low hours but pretty cool stuff. Two days, about 15 hours total with a highly specialized surgeon. One day in OR and one in clinic

-205 hours with a local community center food pantry, with a very nice LOR from one of the higher ups.

-D1 swim all four years. My professor LORs are definitely pretty meh as I didn't get to know them very well

Virtual scribing has little value. Your clinical and non clinical hours are just above the minimum for screening. Creighton expects far more clinical and non clinical hours than you have. Some of your schools are reaches. I suggest these schools with your stats and ECs:
Wisconsin
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Indiana
TCU
Belmont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Hackensack
Albany
New York Medical College
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)

Welcome to the forums.

Virtual scribing won't have a ton of impact, but you may have enough other clinical or clinic-adjacent experiences to avoid getting screened out at first pass.

What support do you have from the prehealth advising office at your institution?

If you are born/raised in Wisconsin, your in-states are still going to be your best chance.

Thanks for your input. My school doesn't do pre-health committee letters so not much I guess
