REALLY just trying to see where to improve on my application. Any insight from you guys would be much appreciated.
Date of submission: 5/30/2023 (Hopefully!)
Overall GPA: 3.91
Science GPA: 3.89
Bio-Chem-Physics GPA: 3.8
DAT score (include AA and all sections):
21 AA
22 TS
23 PAT
26 Gen Chem
19 OChem
24 Bio
20 Reading Comp
18 Quantitative Reasoning
State of Residence: Nevada
Major: Biomedical Science
Minority? No
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? No
Shadowing Experience: 157 Hours from all specialties and general
Volunteering Experience: 320 Hours. A lot comes from an Autism Mentorship Program I have at my undergrad. Volunteer Tutoring, charitable thrift stores, food pantries and homeless shelters.
Employment: most valuable: Worked part time at a Disability Developmental Agency. I worked with all types of individuals with mental disabilities.
Research: Only experience I have is from a Biology II Lab. Around 11 hours total.
Other Extracurriculars: Member of my school’s pre-dental society. The treasurer for a semester. Served a mission for my church for 2 years after high school with lots of leadership experience. Played on a volleyball team on campus.
Relevant Honors or Awards: For the life of me, I cannot think of any. Is this category essential? Will it be looked down upon if I do not put anything?
LOR type and strength:
- I have received one B in undergrad and that was in OChem II. My teacher for that class wrote my LOR (Strong I think haha). I took her for Ochem I and got to know her well.
- Another LOR I have is from a former dental board president (2020). I have gotten to know him through family. He is a practicing dentist now as well so that will be my one dental practitioner LOR.
- GenChem teacher writing one for me (strong).
Misc Info: Graduating with my bachelors this summer. WIFE IS FROM MISSOURI! Still will not get in-state tuition though or consideration /:
