Good evening,
I am currently a junior at the University of South Florida as a Biomedical sciences major with a minor in public health. I plan to take the MCAT in the summer of 2018 and apply that cycle. I wanted to ask for some advice on what I could improve on while I still have time before I graduate in the fall of 2019. My goal is to be accepted to MD, but I am open to DO as well. I would love and greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations that you all have to offer.
GPA: 3.6; sGPA: 3.42 (both upward trend) Lowest grade ever received so far is B-
Pre-med course grades are primarily B+s, with various Bs (No As yet. Biochem is only pre-req remaining)
(Usually take 10-12 credits of science with 17-18 credit semesters if it matters)
Honors college- will complete thesis
Volunteering:
128 hours at Moffitt Cancer Center (Recently quit, should I return?)
~25 hours various other small volunteering activities
Planning for 200-300 hours as a Camp Boggy Creek Counselor over the course of the next year
Shadowing:
15 hours Internal Medicine
20 hours Immunology
5 hours Cardiovascular
140 hours Shadowing internship consisting of Pediatrics/Surgery/Oncology/GYN led by USF Morsani doctor.
Leadership:
Social Chair of Camp Boggy Creek USF 2017-2018
Research:
Microbiology based- 2 years by the time I apply. Will complete thesis.
Work:
Ulta employee 2014-2015
Thank you!
