- Undergrad: cGPA: 3.54, sGPA: 3.50 -> Cincinnati SMP GPA: 3.98 // Total cGPA 3.63, sGPA 3.61
- 512 (132/124/130/126) -> 521 (130/127/132/132)
- Ohio resident with strong ties to Colorado (lived there all my life except this last year)
- Caucasian 25 y/o male
- Went to the University of Colorado - Boulder for a chemistry and biochemistry double major -> University of Cincinnati for SMP in physiology
- Medical experience: This is certainly my strongest section.
- I was an EMT for three years responding to well over one thousand 911 calls. The third year I worked in a level one trauma center and gained a ton of amazing experience and skills like ultrasound guided IV access and a fair amount of splinting and casting skills as well. Hours wise it would be 6,000+ total.
- I was a member of Global Medical Brigades for 4 years and would help staff/assist providers at a medical clinic in Nicaragua. We would also work on public health and water projects in rural communities. The fourth year I was a co-president of the group of about 50 volunteers, but sadly the trip had to be canceled due to political instability in country.
- For research I worked in a biochemistry lab with my own project for 8 months but it never amounted to anything sadly.
- Fair amount of shadowing in various specialties with 80 hours total with about 40 in primary care and 20 in anesthesia. In addition to this as an EMT in the emergency department I was actually able to assist and observe interactions a whole bunch of specialties as well.
- For Non clinical volunteering I worked habitat for humanity for about 120 hours and this last year during COVID since habitat was not active I tutored 4th grade math for about 30 hours. I would say that this is my weakest point I wish I had more in this category.
- Other extracurricular activities
- I was a TA for 1 semesters of general chemistry lecture and lab and 1 semester of physical chemistry.
- I was a tour guide for my school and held a leadership role
- I had a leadership role in a safe ride program for my school
- My current job is in monitoring clinical trials for a contact research organization
- Relevant honors or awards
- My masters capstone project on coagulopathy in trauma patients was awarded best project and presentation
- An award for the successful resuscitation of a cardiac arrest patient who was later discharged neurologically intact from the hospital
- Distinguished chemistry graduate for showing promise for advancing the field, given by professor vote
- Extra
- I have a very strong GPA trend with a 3.95 cGPA over my last 63 credits
- School list: My MCAT definitely surprised me and I am not sure where to go from there. I listed some schools I heard were partial to good trends and some other reach, target, undershoots (not necessarily listed in order of preference). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
