Junior in biomedical engineering major at my state school, hoping to apply without a gap year
Experiences:
~4000 hrs paid EMT, running 911 calls in urban area
200 hrs volunteering at local search and rescue
25 hrs volunteering as an interpreter at a free clinic
250 hrs TAing in bioengineering class
Research:
1000 hrs at a bioengineering lab
3rd author pub in a high-impact journal
Maybe another mid-author pub in same journal, depends on how quick the review process will be
Shadowing:
25 hrs - orthopedic surgery and anaesthesiology
I will hopefully get this up to 40 hours by app season
High quality LORs from engineering prof I'm TAing, English prof I had a good relationship with, biochem prof, PI, and doc I shadowed.
School list:
Reach:
John Hopkins
UPenn
Boston U
Harvard
Yale
Northwestern
U Chicago
NYU
Columbia
Target:
Geisinger
Cooper
Drexel
George Washington
Georgetown
Temple
Penn State
Tufts
U Mass
U Mich
Western Mich
Carle Illinois
MC Wisconson
U Vermont
U Washington
WSU
U Colorado
Just in Case:
PCOM Philly
Rowan COM
CCOM
MSU DO
I'm not the biggest fan of DO schools but I'm not gunning for any particularly competitive specialties and I would rather deal with OMM than with another application cycle and I think I selected schools that would still give me a quality education.
What do yall think about my school list? Is it too top-heavy or do my stats justify it? Any schools that I should remove/add to my list?
Thanks in advance for the help!
