You would need to provide more info, but yours stats are fine. It's more about ECs combined though.

Volunteering? Shadowing? Clinical work?

 

[galapin26]

@Prilozack @Saxappeal1 I have done 60 hours of shadowing, volunteered in a hospital and therapy center (~200 hours) and have done plenty of research (three research projects, honors thesis, and I am submitting a paper for publishing this fall)

You seem pretty solid for FSU, do you want to be a PCP?

Not really, I want to specialize as a cardiologist, nephrologist or something along those lines. Why?

What were your stats when you entered FSU? I really like that school.

FSU is VERY mission specific, if you don't fit the mission, it doesn't do either you or the medical school much good

What are they specifically looking for? I can never understand mission statements, they all sound similar to me. I stated that my goals are to provide a personalized health care, and conduct research. @Saxappeal1
