CA resident. 3rd year. 3.65 GPA (on its way up). Total and epic fail on the 03/27/10 MCAT and signed up for a retake July 29th (now deciding on pushing it to September instead so I can just continue to focus on school). Before I was deciding on whether to take a year off because my scores would not come out until the end of August or beginning of September. That would put me in the late pile already. So I've come to a decision of taking a year off.
So here is the break down of my ECs so far and continuing:
Jumpstart Americorps-freshman year (but thinking about doing it again senior year)
Children's Hospital since 2008 (but on and off)
Research-1yr
mentoring 6yr old-7 months
volunteering in a pediatric clinic promoting literacy by reading to children and reaching out to parents-8 months
volunteering at a pediatric physical/occupational therapy clinic-recent
tutoring US/World History at high schools-2 yrs
Plans:
I want to know if anyone has any abroad medical experiences (such as volunteering) or any further suggestions to improve my application for the next cycle.
Thanks a bunch!!
