Hey guys,
Last year I very naively applied about as late as one could imagine (some secondaries, for example, were not submitted until due dates). So, of course, I did not get in.
This time around, I've graduated from my undergrad institution (University of South Carolina) and I've begun to strengthen my extracurriculars with a volunteer internship at a clinic in downtown Chicago and a job in the clinical laboratory of a local hospital.
Here's a breakdown of what I have going on for myself right now:
Biology Major/Philosophy Minor GPA 3.97
MCAT taken 07/2012 with a score of 33 (10 verb, 11 phys, 12 bio)
AMCAS submitted 07/26/2013, marked ready for verification 08/05/2013.
EC's include:
2.5 years of undergraduate research in o.chem under a research scholarship
6 week volunteer internship in Port-au-Prince, living in a haitian community
6 week shadowing internship at a local hospital
Currently volunteering in the development office of a free clinic in Chicago
Currently working in the clinical laboratory of a major midwest hospital
By my estimate, It looks like I'll be verified by late September, early October (sadface), giving me hope that I'll be able to submit my secondaries during that first week of October.
I'm really hoping that I'll have a shot at Rush Medical School, Loyola, UIC, or MUSC in Charleston.
Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Thanks guys.
