Hi, I was wondering what my chances are for getting into these Medical schools (applying in June for the next cycle).
cGPA: ~3.5 (3.4 freshman year, 3.3 sophomore year, 3.6 junior year, ~3.9 senior year) --went through a difficult time first two years for personal reasons
sGPA: ~3.4
MCAT: 513 (128,128,128,129)
Research experience: +1000 hours in a virology lab, 1 publication, 1 poster presentation
Clinical volunteering: ~100 currently (volunteering at a hospital in ICU, Radiology department, and ER),
Clinical work: taking a gap year and working as either a medical assistant or clinical research assistant (full-time) (so I will have ~2,000 more hours in clinical setting)
Non-clinical volunteering/extracurriculars: Involved in a tutoring club at my college, Panhellenic Sorority, volunteer medical club
Non-research/clinical work experience: 2 summers spent working as a camp counselor
Ethnicity: half Japanese, half white
MA resident, went to college at top 30 University in California
Both parents are MDs
Possible school list:
California Northstate
Rosalind Franklin
Columbia (just because my dad went there for medical school)
Creighton
Drexel
Emory
Quinnipiac
Dartmouth
USC
George Washington (not sure because of # of applicants)
Temple
Loyola
Medical college of Wisconsin
NY Medical college
Rush
Jefferson
SUNY Downstate
Texas A&M
UT San Antonio
Tufts
Tulane
UCLA
UMass (top choice)
UVM
Wake Forest
Western Michigan
Let me know if any of these schools seem out of reach or if I should add any. Any advice would be much appreciated!
