State/country of residence: MA but significant ties to Ohio
Ties to other states/regions: Ohio, New York and New Jersey
URM: nope
Year in school: second gap year
Undergraduate major: biomedical engineering
Graduate degree: MS biomedical engineering
Cumulative GPA: 3.67 + 4.0 grad gpa
Science GPA: 3.78
MCAT: 515
Research: I have a masters research thesis that I defended, 4.5 years of academic research and ~1 year of industry research at a biotech startup
Publications: 4 pubs all middle author with my thesis as a published first author paper
Clinical: EMT (~1000 hrs so far with 2400 by the end of the year), Medical reserve Corp volunteer mostly as a covid vaccinator (~200 hrs). Health screening volunteer (~100 hrs)
Physician shadowing: 242 hours split over e-shadowing and several doctors and specialties. I have one letter coming from a doctor who I also vaccinated for.
Non-clinical volunteering: Ronald McDonald family room (625 hrs in college), homeless shelter (~200 hrs by end of year), founder of non-profit for homeless (~100 hrs), food pantry volunteer (~100 hrs) and I volunteered at my temple (~120 hrs)
Other extracurriculars: president and treasurer of a public health club at school, Resident assistant, teaching assistant, member of a sorority
Employment: I work for a biotech startup right now in addition to my EMT job.
No immediate family in medicine.
Specialties of interest: Emergency medicine(?) I’m mostly open right now.
Medical school list: anywhere in Boston (not Harvard tho) or case western. Lerner college of medicine is my dream school. I love the combination of research and the ability to learn in the one of the most diverse cities in the US
I’m nervous about the genuine nature of my app because a lot of my service I discovered during my gap year and I found a real passion for it, especially for the homeless. I don’t want it to seem like I’m just doing stuff for an app. My college life was really overwhelmed by research, so when I got out of college I had more time to explore and experience other things. Any suggestions on how to share my story also welcome.
