Hello all, I would really appreciate some input on what schools I should be applying to. My AMCAS is in line for verification, but I added only my state school (OHSU) so I could wait for my MCAT score (which came back today).
Here's the break down:
Cumulative GPA: 3.66 with upward trend (3.0 FR->3.9 SO-->3.8 SR, graduated in three years)
Science GPA: 3.67
MCAT Score: 11 PS/ 13 VR/ 11 BS = 35
Clinical experience: 750 hours as an ED Scribe, 30 additional hours shadowing at another ED
Research: two years as a undergraduate lab assistant, 1 year as a full time NIH post-baccalaureate fellow, will stay here for an additional year. I have two third author publications and one first author poster.
Other volunteer experiences: 150 hours as a public health speaker/event planner
Other ECs: Varied TA and tutoring (~200hours)
LORs: Committee letter from adviser, 2 from PIs, 1 from public health volunteer experience, 1 from physician I scribed for, 2 from science professors.
Employment: In additional to above (scribing and research), I was an office assistance for 1 year. All in all, I worked at least part time throughout all of college and full time during most of my senior year. I consider myself economically disadvantaged as my single mother has been disabled since childhood and most of our subsistence came from food stamps, SSI etc. As a result, I did have to work through college and this limited my volunteer experiences somewhat. I expanded on this a bit in my PS and disadvantaged essay. On that note, I received FAP and I'm not a URM.
Applied so far:
OHSU (my state school)
What other kinds of schools should I be applying to?
