Hello,
I applied to 37 schools and completed 37 secondaries. One interview invited and was put on the WL. I am CA resident, ORM, non-traditional (was a major in the humanities), LGBTQ+.
- Post-bacc GPA: 3.9x
- BCPM: 3.7x
- cGPA: 3.5x
- 504 --> 511 MCAT
My experiences include:
- ~750 hours clinical volunteering
- ~30 hours shadowing
- ~2,500 hours research lab (1 first author pub)
- ~2,000 hours volunteering (teaching sports and tutoring underserved kids)
How I am planning on improving my application:
- Increasing clinical exposure (currently applying to internships and jobs scribing)
- Increasing volunteering (teaching underserved adults how to read)
- Finishing secondaries in June (last cycle I was verified mid-June and finished secondaries in July/August)
How else can I improve my application? Do I need to retake the MCAT? Take more classes? How else do I improve my chances? I appreciate any and all feedback!
