I'm applying this upcoming cycle and would love some advice on if I am too delulu with my current school list/adding schools
Demographics: Virginia resident, 1 upcoming gap year, ORM female
Story: very interested in aerospace medicine, and want to eventually go into emergency medicine and work as a NASA or Space Force flight surgeon (contrary to the name, flight surgeons don't need a surgical specialty)
Undergrad: T10
sGPA/cGPA/MCAT: 3.79/3.81/520 (130/130/129/131)
Research:
800 hours of human spaceflight research (most meaningful, 3 posters and hopefully a 1st author pub by the fall)
300 hours of econ research (freshman year i thought i was gonna go into finance lol)
120 hours of biochem research
120 hours (when applying) + 700-ish hours during my gap year of astrobiology research
240 hours of NASA L'SPACE (this counts as a "workforce program", but not technically an internship)
Clinical:
1200 hours of collegiate EMS (most meaningful)
360 hours of working as an EMT
800 hours of ski patrolling + being an instructor with the National Ski Patrol (most meaningful)
Community Service + Other:
150 hours at a food kitchen-ish non-profit
70 hours with a mentorship club (I'm co-pres)
100 hours of ski instructing + was on the board for a ski instruction non-profit
Hobbies:
400 hours of baking
200 hours of running (i'm starting to get back into this and have the goal of breaking the Guinness world record for fastest half-marathon dressed as a meat product)
Shadowing:
88 hours
Gap Year: I'm currently applying to do a certificate in theological studies at oxford (kind of random) but haven't heard back yet ... if accepted, in the UK I plan to continue space med related research. if not accepted, i'll continue doing space med and astrobio research at my current labs
