I am debating as to whether or not I should I apply at the end of my 3rd year or at the end of my 4th and take a gap year. I know I can bring my GPA up even more during my 4th year but I just want to see where I am at right now. It probably cant hurt to wait, but I just want to see.
Where can I be looking with these numbers? I am mostly looking at schools along the east coast-I am a NY resident, so all of my state schools. I am also willing to consider USUHS.
What else do you guys think?
White male, top 30 university, history major, chem minor
cGPA: 3.57 (some serious upward trend)
sGPA: 3.4
MCAT: havent taken but i expect 30-31 very even...hopefully but lets just use this for now since this is what my practices say and I still have another year.
Mother did not attend college. Both parents are immigrants.
EC's...this is kindve where I shine.
-EMS experience since 2002, EMT since 2006
-3 paid, part time EMT jobs-still employed
-Volunteer EMS agency since 2002
Resulting EMS awards: county award for actions resulting in the delivery of a baby girl, agency award for commendable service, fundraising committee member (would have raised $5,000 for our new building), youth squad co-adviser, will have approximately 3,000 hours of riding hours and over 500 calls
Other clinical experience: 1 year of radiology research, 2 years IR shadowing, 2 years shadowing cardiothoracic surgery, 2 years shadowing chief surgeon of the NYPD (chief of the medical division)
I founded a public health and safety organization-working for it to become the university's first rescue squad
Other EC's: Crisis Hotline volunteer, New Student liason volunteer (I visit HS's and answer questions in the admissions office), Intern for honor and ethics course x 2 years
LOR's-2 science, 2 history, 1 philosophy, 2 doctors (1 is the chair of the angio dept. and 1 is the chief surgeon of the NYPD) all will be outstanding
if there is anything else you need, let me know
