I've already applied to a few: U of MN, WI-Madison, Med. College of Wisc and Iowa U. In addition, I've applied to 3 D.O. but I won't be expanding that.
Here are my stats:
MN Resident; typical white middle class male (born in finland...so slightly atypical
)
cGPA: 3.75 (Trend is great. I did terrible my 1st semester..2.5..but have gotten above a 3.6 every sem since)
sGPA: 3.86
MCATS:
5/22/10 27L (PS-9, VR-7, BS-11)
7/29/10 30Q (PS-12, VR-8, BS-10)
Extracurriculars:
-Research for 2.5 years on proteins; presented at 2 conferences, and one coming up in a few weeks. Received two grants; $2000 Foundation Grant and a $500 dollar Tri Beta grant.
-Shadowed roughly ~80-90 hours; 4 days with a fam. prac; 4 days with ER and 3 days with a general surg.
-Was the treasurer for Tri Beta for 1.5 yrs; have been a active member for about 3 years.
-I have close to 2000 hrs of direct patient care experience. I work as an aide in the hospital for the float team. I see and work in almost every area in the hospital (ER, ICU, Behavior health and all the med/surg floors). I also worked 6 months at a detox facility as a chem. dependency tech.
-EMT Certified for almost 3 years.
-Received some scholarships for academic performance.
-Volunteered mainly for a program called Campus Kitchen...the last two summers. Also have done some annual/biannual events such as Raking for elderly folks and judging elementary science fairs.
That should be it...I always seem to forget something but this should be enough.
I am open to going anywhere; looking to add 3-4 more to my list.
Thanks!
