Hello,
Been lurking for a little while but I now need some advice on what schools to apply to. Here are my ECs:
2 semesters tutoring at the science tutoring center on campus, about 500 hours (paid work)
Currently working full time as a CNA on the renal/diabetic unit since this Feb and I have been recently promoted to Unit Clerk/CNA. I have about 500 hours so far. This is really good experience that I will have TONS to talk about.
I am also holding down a part-time retail job to cover bills and help repay student loans.
I have worked since my sophomore year (20 hrs/wk avg) not an EC but worth noting.
This summer I plan on taking a leave of absence from my second job and volunteering for big brothers, big sisters as well as get some shadowing hours in but it wouldn't be until after my primary is sent out.
I am a CO resident and I am very much hoping to get into Denver for a lot of reasons. How do my chances look for Denver specifically?
Here is the current list of schools I am considering:
Penn State
Drexel
Ohio State
Iowa - Carver
Northwestern
Univ. of Maryland
Georgetown
Univ. of Miami
Rochester
NYU
That's it so far. If there are any schools worth adding or removing please let me know (i.e. should I shoot a little higher). Also, If a school does not have a research requirement in the curriculum, is it reasonable to assume that those school do not favor it as much? What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
