3.66 GPA, 3.75 sGPA (*please see below paragraph)
BS in Biology from major University
*also getting Chem and Psych minor
33 MCAT (12/9/12)
GPA side note: My GPA from my freshman year was a 2.6 at a community college, and I was not planning on medical school (I didn't take any "pre-med" course work during this period). I ended up going through some pretty crazy life-changing events, and this is what led me to my love for medicine. Since then, I have maintained a 3.99 GPA at a major University (over 100 credit hours)... Please tell me if you think this will increase my chances.

Research:
- Microbiology lab: I have worked in this lab for ~6 months... I am generally in the lab 12-15 hrs/week, and I am currently working to get published.
- Clinical Research Assistant: Worked as an assistant for ~1 year (6 hrs/week) enrolling patients in studies at two different hospitals.
Leadership:
- Anatomy TA: Worked in an anatomy lab at a large university for 2 years (was a paid position). Taught students 9 hrs/week, and was responsible for writing and grading weekly quizzes (as well as practical exams).
- Ochem I & II TA: Helped students during weekly discussion sections with problem sets. Also helped with grading exams.
