Hey!
So I'm currently a sophomore in my undergrad and I'm majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry, and possibly a minor in history as well. I was wondering what you all would suggest I do to make myself more competitive for applying to MD and MD/PhD programs in the future :
Here are my current stats:
3.6 GPA
- 100 hours shadowing in a hospital
- 75 hours shadowing a veterinarian
- Honors Student
- 2 Semesters as a research assistant ( I will be doing an individual research project junior and senior year)
- I'm applying to do a public health study abroad this summer in Thailand as well as apply to a few SURF programs
- Over 1 hundred hours of community service
- College Athlete
- Class Vice President for 2 years
- Member of the biological honors society and biology club
I realize my GPA is a little low! I do have a B- from first semester freshmen year when I had some family issues, I am debating retaking that course!
So do I even have a chance at MD? I'm determined to work as hard as I need to in order to make my dream a reality! Let me know what you guys think!
