I am planning to apply broadly to MD/DO programs and need help with a school list. I have the fee assistance program for my MD application.
My background is nontraditional, my undergrad degree is in a social science. I want to work with underserved populations as a doctor. I have strong experiences working with underserved populations and speak a lot about this background in my essays and activities.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with me.
cGPA and sGPA as calculated by AMCAS or AACOMAS: 3.8, 3.6
MCAT score(s) and breakdown. Include all (non-voided) attempts.: 508 (123-CP, 131-CARS, 126-BB, 129-PS)
State of residence or country of citizenship (if non-US): PA
Ethnicity and/or race: White
Undergraduate institution or category: Large public school (undergrad, liberal arts degree), Community college (prerequisites, DIY post-bacc).
Clinical experience (volunteer and non-volunteer): 200 paid hours, 100+ volunteer hours
Research experience and productivity: N/A
Shadowing experience and specialties represented: 36 hours - ER, Surgery, other specialities. No primary care but I have non-shadowing hands on experience in a primary care setting.
Non-clinical volunteering: Total - 300 hours, various nonprofits (including food bank and soup kitchen) and local hospital, non clinical.
Other extracurricular activities (including athletics, military service, gap year activities, leadership, teaching, etc):
2 years of paid employment in service field working directly with underserved populations.
Relevant honors or awards: Dean's list, cum laude.
Anything else not listed you think might be important: I am concerned about the 123 in CP. I also have a C is General Physics 1 but As in multiple chemistry classes.
