cGPA and sGPA as calculated by AMCAS or AACOMAS:
3.96 / I haven't calculated sGPA but somewhere ~3.94-3.95
MCAT score(s) and breakdown:
511 (131/123/129/128)
State of residence or country of citizenship (if non-US):
California
Ethnicity and/or race:
ORM male
Undergraduate institution + Major :
UCLA - Psychobiology
Clinical experience (volunteer and non-volunteer):
1000 paid hours as medical assistant --> Was first medical office intern(no payment) for 3 months, paid medical office intern for another 6 months, and then medical assistant for 3 months. Role changed over the year as I went from intake in the beginning to intake + phone call + observing surgeries/procedures.
Under the supervision of my doctor, I learned and vaccinated ~20 patients with covid vaccine during the pandemic.
Research experience and productivity:
600 hours of research. One summer internship on CRISPR-Cas9 and powerpoint presentation at the end. I've been acknowledged on one paper but no co-authorship.
Shadowing experience and specialties represented:
100 hours of shadowing ENT procedures and surgeries
Other extracurricular activities (including athletics, military service, gap year activities, leadership, teaching, etc).
200 hours of Crisis Text Line
mentored a middle school student for 2 years during covid through online
Was a club outreach chair for 1 year --> organized events to go to homeless shelters and food banks
I'm a little defeated to see my cars score really low. I've heard that there are some med schools that screen low cars score so I'm worried about that and not entirely sure about which schools to apply to with my stats.
Any help is much appreciated!
