Texas Resident
4.0 GPA
Haven't taken the MCAT yet, signed up for next year
Been on leadership team with my campus ministry for 2.5 years
Done a lot of community service through the ministry, e.g., kids camps, mission trips, homeless outreach
Shadowed a Family Medicine doc recently for about 8 hours, loved it
Trying to get volunteer hours lined up at the local hospital and/or urgent care clinic
Worked for the past 5 years (and still going) with a company heavily involved in vaccine shipment, medical inventory management, and public health
Should be able to get good LOR (My profs usually take a liking to me, haha)
I was behind the curve in deciding that medicine was for sure what I wanted to do (I'm a senior), so I definitely don't have as many shadowing and volunteer hours as a lot of people, but I've put in a lot of time at work during college and I'm trying to get those other things built up now. Additionally, I think I want to do an EMT course during my gap year.
I'm planning on applying to all of the Texas med schools, and I'm also considering applying to USUHS.
Anyway, feel free to give me the straight dope about what I've got so far!
