Hoping to get some help with a school list - my tiny little undergrad barely has a premed advising program (small liberal arts public school) so I've been mostly doing this process based on my own research and I'm worried I might be missing some important details - I have no connections in medicine and my undergrad has only produced 1 successful matriculant in the last like 15 years and she had to do a 4-year postbacc so I'm just feeling a little isolated from direct resources in the field. I Appreciate any feedback!
State/Country of Residence: MD
Ties to other States/Regions: college in VA, spending two years working in NYC
URM? (Y/N): N, white female
Undergraduate Major(s)/Minor(s): Biology and Spanish majors, minors in chem and neurostudies
cGPA/sGPA: 4.00
MCAT: 520
Research Experience: 3.5 years as lead student researcher in small undergrad lab (~1000hrs); did a 80 hour internship rotation at an Alzheimer's institute during the winter of senior year; currently an associate neuroscience research at Mount Sinai SOM (will be here for about 1.5-2 years total, full-time hours)
Publications/Abstracts/Posters : undergraduates lab = no pubs, several posters (1 first author on 2 posters) and 1 oral presentation which was my senior thesis defense; will have 3-5 pubs from my current position at Sinai (no first/second author) and then a first author abstract/poster at society for neuroscience in nov 2022
Clinical Experience (paid or volunteer): 230 hrs as a paid PCA in a nursing home summer of 2020, 12 hours vaccine clinic volunteer, applied for some hospital volunteer programs this summer so hopefully another 50-150
Physician Shadowing: 8 hours in cardio, 30 in family med, I took a medical Spanish class abroad for my major and shadowed physicians across several departments (60 hrs), another 10-20 in neuro
Non-Clinical Volunteering: 40 hours community service with my college soccer team, 10 hours English teacher at immigration center, and currently do weekly free English classes through the NYC mayor's office for immigrant communities (~100 hours, super passionate about this)
Extracurricular Activities: Division I Soccer Team Captain (several awards, recognized as an Academic All-American, huge time commitment), Pre-health society President, anatomy tutor/TA
