Hi everyone! I'm looking for feedback on my school list and wanted to make sure it was balanced so that I'm not shooting myself in the foot. Any help is appreciated, thank you!!
- 3.99 GPA
- 516 MCAT (129/124/132/131) I know the CARS is a rough score and I'm hoping that the 516 still holds weight
- White male, CT resident, ties to NY (lived there until I was 12)
- T50 undergrad, 1 "gap year" -> I have one semester of classes left, so I guess one semester gap
- activities
- 1250 research hours (one 6-month full time job in a biotech startup and a summer internship in a lab studying IBD) -> no posters or publications
- 1000 hours as a research coordinator (didn't have direct patient interaction, but enrolled/interviewed patients over the phone)
- 150 clinical hours as a volunteer in the hospital where I visited the inpatient floors and spent all of this time directly talking/comforting patients -> another 200 planned in application year
- 100 hours non-clinical volunteering (50 as part of big brothers big sisters and 50 volunteering in a food kitchen and serving food to homeless population) -> another 200 planned in application year
- 1250 hours as part of club baseball team (on team for 4 years, was captain and president of the team for 2)
- 250 hours as a summer baseball coach
- 70 hours of shadowing (3 specialties)
- FWIW I also had an experience with IBD that lead to two surgeries and this was a huge motivation for being pre-med
