State of Residence: NC
URM: N (I think? female, white & Hispanic (Colombian))
Undergrad: Biology B.S. + Chemistry Minor (already graduated)
cGPA: 3.8 sGPA: 3.7
MCAT: 520 (128/129/132/131)
Research Experience: 2 labs in undergrad (1800+ hours)
Publications/Abstracts/Posters: 1 publication as first author, 1 publication as middle author, 1 abstract, 1 acknowledgement and 3 poster presentations. (Potentially more publications in the future as a middle author).
Clinical Experience: Volunteer: worked with pediatric patients at the children’s hospital doing science experiments to help ease anxiety about procedures/being in the hospital(~100hrs), starting this back up once COVID chills. EMT certified but only went on a few ride alongs (~24hrs). I know this is loooow, I’m currently applying to medical scribe/assistant/EMT jobs, but haven’t had much luck.
Physician Shadowing: ~200 hours (peds: surgery, anesthesiology, cardiology, intensive care, and oncology + adult cardiology and ophthalmology)
Non-Clinical Volunteering: Chair on the executive board (+ prior sub chair position) of a non profit that benefits the local children’s hospital + various volunteering for that organization (1000+ hours), slide library of surgical pathology lab at local hospital (~200hr)
Other Extracurricular Activities: Member of sorority & professional fraternity (some volunteering with those), post graduation I’ve picked up learning ballet, yoga, and French
Other Employment History: Worked as a waitress & bartender throughout undergrad (3yr, 10hrs/week). Post grad have worked at a pharma company (1.5yr)
FWIW, I have a personal connection to pediatrics which is why a lot of my shadowing and ECs are focused there & is a big reason why I want to go into medicine.
Medical School List: My list feels too top heavy right now, looking to apply to ~20-25.
Hopkins, UPenn, Stanford, Columbia, Pitt, UMichigan, UChicago, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Mount Sinai, Baylor**, UNC, Case Western, Boston, UVA, UColorado, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Georgetown, UMiami, University of Illinois, East Carolina
Maybe: Penn state, UMinnesota, Arizona, USF
**I know Baylor is now with Texas school applications so this one might be cut too
