Hello! I plan on applying next cycle (2020 matriculation) and would like to know what people think about what I've done so far activities wise and give some advice regarding what my chances might be.
Undergrad GPA: 3.75
Activities:
disk jockey for college radio for 4 semesters (will be more when I apply)- ~300 hours
medical technologist overnight during college @ large academic medical center ~ 1200 hours
crisis text line volunteer ~ 200 hours by application time
Volunteering at a free clinic w/ patient contact ~ 50 hours
leadership in service organization in my major ~ 100 hours
4 semesters of research in a large cancer research center w/ one pub coming soon ~ 500+ hours
illustrator for science magazine for 4 semesters ~ 100 hours
in the process of getting shadowing and hospital clinical volunteering done- hopefully 50 hours of shadowing and at least 100 of clinical volunteering at the hospital
Also planning to get a year of full time work scribing or medical assisting in my second gap year after I take the MCAT.
I plan to take the MCAT in May of 2019 (I know it's difficult if not impossible to evaluate my chances w/o an MCAT score) BUT it would also be helpful to hear which MCAT score I should GENERALLY be shooting for given what I've done so far (I realize it varies widely depending on where I'm trying to go, but my #1 choice is my top state school)
Please give your most candid evaluations! Thank you!
