Hi everyone,
This is my first thread post. I was wondering what someone feels I would need to score on the MCAT to give me a shot at NJMS. I was planning on Early Decision because it's my number #1 school of choice. Also, if anyone has any other advice as towards what other medical schools fit my criteria and application well. I would love for some feedback. Thank you.
My Stats:
Asian Male
NJ Resident and attend a University in NJ
cGPA: 3.76
sGPA: 3.83
Molecular Biology Major / Chem Minor
EC:
1.5 Years of research. With 3 conferences; 3 poster presentations, which were nation and international.
1 Publication this summer and working on the second publication this summer as well.
Attended a Summer Medical Program at NJMS for 2 Years.
Volunteer at a nursing home for a little over 1 year.
Worked in the ED in HUMC as a medical scribe for 3 months.
Vice-President of two organizations on campus
1 of 12 students out of Science and Mathematics Department who is in a Research Program sponsored by Merck and Roche.
1 of 2 students who was awarded the highest scholarship in my department last year.
Personal Tutor for 2 years (Freshman-Sophmore)
Volunteer at HUMC for one year.
Worked in a Molecular Biology Wet Lab for a Cancer diagnostics company for 9 months.
Member of LSAMP at my university.
Shadow experience with my orthopedic surgeon and his fellow residency colleague.
**I figure the job in the hospital ED and volunteering at the hospital are also considered clinical experience**
Letters of Recommendation are coming from my research mentor; possibly my pre-health committee if I pass their criteria for a composite score of 65 (GPAx10 + MCAT), and my summer medical program.
I feel confident about the MCAT; which is on July 2nd for me. Practice test from Kaplan were 31 (Test 7) and 33 (Test 8). I am saving AAMC test for tomorrow and AAMC test 11 on Saturday as my last test before my real MCAT. Any advice as to which AAMC I should take tomorrow too.
