International student (not Canadian)
Graduated from college 2009, cGPA = 3.6, sGPA = 3.5, no upward trend 🙁
Triple majors: Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology
1st MCAT (2008) = PS 8, VB 9, BS 9 M
2nd MCAT (2010) = PS 10, VB 9, BS 10 M
ECs:
I was an exchange student for one year, studying abroad during high school.
Treasure of International Students club in college for 3 years, many activities for this that I can talk about
2 summer research internship (one in Alabama and one in Cali)
Ohio Reads: volunteer to read for elementary children (1 year)
Physics tutor (1 year)
Dance Team member (1 year)
Hospital volunteering: been going on since last year (~80 hours)
Shadowing: 20 hours with a primary care doctor, 8 hours with a urology doctor (in clinic) and 8 hours in the OR with a cadiothoracic doctor
I am working right now as a research assistant in a Microbiology lab so I guess this counts toward research activities?
I will have 5-6 very good LORs from science and non-science professors, PIs, and my supervisor at work.
Sorry I have made this thread before in pre-allo forum. Now I decided to apply for DO schools so have to make new thread. I want to edit the old thread to DO but I couldn't.
Thank you for reading this. Any suggestions/advices/comments would be greatly appreciated!!!
