Hey everyone,
Wondering if I should apply now (rising senior) or after my senior year (would have to take a gap year). YOUR HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!

Mainly worried about low non-clinical hours and not having anything outstanding.

GPA: 3.87
MCAT: 515
CA resident
White

Clinical Volunteering: 350 hours in 2.5 years (hospital)
Non-clinical volunteering: 85 hours (food bank)
Shadowing: 60 hours
Leadership: Club officer ~ 1 year
Research: 1.5 years ~ 1000 hours
Publication: 2x2nd author, 1 first author

Other:
-summer medical internship outside of the U.S. (during high school tho)
- speak 5 languages
- work experience: I run a photography business with my SO
-hobby: blogging

I don’t know if this makes a big difference ( and if it does, please let me know!) but I am NOT a US citizen, I have green card with CA residency.

Thank you!!
