Hello all, I am shook. Never would imagine myself to be posting in an acceptance thread.. but felt needed to share. Have faith and believe in yourself! Your stats do not define who you are!

I'm a 26 yr old South East Asian URM pre-med/pod student, first-gen, took the MCAT 3 times (terrible scores btw, but didn't let that stop me from pursuing medicine), gotten a DUI once. B.S in health sciences and minored in religious studies. Went to grad school for my MPH at a MD school with a concentration in epidemiology and environmental health sciences.. took a lot of biostats/epidemiology/toxicology grad level courses.

1. GPAs (both cumulative & sci)
undergrad sci: 3.00
undergrad cumulative: 3.20
grad sci and post bacc science: 3.46
grad cumulative: 3.52

2. MCAT Score
attempt 1: 482
...attempt 2: 482 (not joking)
attempt 3: retake on 4/15/2023 - score yet to be received (FLEs 502-507ish, so I'm expecting to 100% do better than 482 lol..)

3. Shadowing hours & ECs
-70 hrs DPM shadow, 40 MD, and 20 DO shadow
-6mo HPV research, 6 mo Gout & obesity research, 1 year NIH funded child and adolescent psychiatry research at columbia university - nyspi.

-Created a 100 page resource guide for the Puerto Rican community in The Bronx, NY. Mainly for low-income families living close to poverty or rely on government assistance. Made this in both English and Spanish text. Taught myself basic Spanish during COVID season in order to translate and communicate with participants in my research and for my future patients! (My main friend group consist of mostly Spanish speaking people, so this was helpful!)

-2k+ hours in Church related activities/volunteering- Youth Leadership conferences, camps, weekly mentorship sessions, academic advising
-5k+ hours of paid direct patient care
-1k+ hours in research
-1.5 year working w/state dept. of health w/covid - generated data for CDC

Opening this back up to see how first year went?

Opening this back up to see how first year went?

In my 2nd semester of first year. I'm learning a lot, taking on 2-3 leadership positions, 2x monthly volunteering, started research, and also just attended the ACFAS conference this past weekend. Definitely not a gunner, but for sure top 1/3 of the class in terms of academics. Also manage to still go out for with friends for drinks once a week without stressing too much about studying.

Honestly, I'm having a real good time. Maybe the negatives just hasn't hit me yet and I'm just really naïve and oblivious to it all. Mostly just concerned about boards.

Sounds like you are checking all the boxes. Good stuff!
