ORM, MA resident, Ivy undergrad
cGPA: 3.81
sGPA: 3.8
MCAT: 520 (128/132/130/130)
Volunteer clinical: 450 hr
- clinical research intern, virtual aphasia center volunteer, medical advocate for sexual assault survivors
Paid clinical (clinical research): ~1500 hr
- presented abstract, 2nd author paper submitted, more in the works
Other volunteer: 90
Bench research: 120 hr
Shadowing: 125 hr
1,300 hours of other leadership between two positions (one paid, one unpaid). Also teaching assistant, club sport, musical theater, art, lots of mental health and disability justice advocacy.
Connections to IL, MI, MA, New England.
Currently taking a gap year working in clinical research and doing some volunteering/shadowing while applying. Also LGBTQIA+ and including in some secondary diversity questions. Very interested in schools that are a mission fit -- I hope to get an MD/MPH, practice and do research related to SDOH, and become a physician advocate.
CONCERN: Have an IA for having too few courses complete for 2 semesters - my undergrad puts you on academic warning even if you have a good GPA. I took a few incompletes in courses mid-COVID due to multiple deaths of people close to me and some long COVID symptoms after getting it, and finished them later (before graduating). I explained this on AMCAS, but worried schools (esp. top schools) will screen me out.
