I applied back in July and have gotten denials from Wake Forest, VCU, Tulane, and George Washington.
My main focuses are UNC (doubtful) and Brody School of Medicine (ECU), and I have heard from neither.
GPA: 3.609
Science: 3.4 (excluding nutrition courses and with C+ in Anatomy)
MCAT: 499
Extra Curricular:
I have worked at an eye doctors office since high school with 950+ hours of patient contact
I have volunteered at a local hospital since high school in post surgery as well with pet therapy, 200+ patient contact hours
I have volunteered with the blind community and with pet therapy training groups
I have shadowed ER (45 hours) Oral surgery (12 hours) Hospitalist (4) and Pediatric Specialty Care (8)
I have worked 1 semester as a General Chemistry TA and taught my own review session, and I am currently a Biochemistry TA for 2 professors, 1 Grad/Undergrad level (the class I took, this is my 2nd semester TAing) and the normal level biochem (first semester TAing).
I have held two positions in my sorority, as well.
I am also a white female, applying to go straight out of college, and do not have any family members in the medical field.
For the most part I am curious about my chances with ECU. A lot of my friends with similar applications have gotten interviews and I have not.. I am wondering if they are waiting to see my grades from this semester.
I also am curious what I could do to improve my application for when I reapply. I already am planning on retaking the MCAT and I am taking an EMT course next semester, but not sure what else I should do..
Any sort of advice would be great! Thanks!
