Hi everyone,
Stats and experiences are as follows:
cGPA: 3.88
sGPA: 3.95
MCAT: 33N (retaking in a month), oops forgot to mention.. verbal: 8
Major: Business (top 3 program)
Research: Somewhat late into the research game. as a rising senior, did a summer research fellowship program last year (acceptance rate of 3%, surprised I got in), continued doing research senior year in the same lab, will join a research group at Columbia U for my gap year. no pubs, although one is expected in early 2013.
Community Service: Spent the last two years volunteering at the hospital. Spent the last year tutoring reading and math to dialysis patients. Also tutored underprivileged k12 kids in the area through a non-profit. Currently training/raising a dog to become a service dog for blind persons through an organization.
Campus involvement and leadership: Board member for an entrepreneurship organization for two years. Played on the club volleyball team for one year. Climbing club.
Work experience: Interned at large biotech company based out of California. Rock climbing instructor. TA for a business class. Web developer for over two years.
Shadowing: Cardiologist, pediatric surgeon, neurologist, radiologist, and endocrinologist (~40 hours)
Awards: Phi Beta Kappa, several various school honors and awards, 40k merit scholarship.
Letters and personal statement: I think I have a good story for my PS. Should have glowing letters of recommendation.
And now.. the school list (seems a bit top heavy to me), although I expect to score a higher MCAT this second time through. Either way, please criticize and provide feedback. Thank you SDN!
