Since the semester is closing I wanted to see where I stand before I apply next June.
Asian
cGPA: 3.75 (maybe between 3.75-3.82 by the time I graduate)
sGPA: 3.7+
MCAT: 33
Research: 2 years with one SURP at a major hospital
Teaching: Tutored math and chem for two years and physiology for a year, lab TA for a semester, english ESL for two semesters
Volunteering;
Shadowing:
-International shadowing of a neurosurgeon for a month 200+ hours
-Shadowed family relative who is primary care for 40+ hours
ECs: film making, model building, photography
So far 1 LoR from my undergrad PI and 1 from a physio professor that I helped TA for. I have another possible one from another professor.
My PS revolves around my family and our health histories and such. I wrote it for the last cycle but since I never fully applied I'll probably do some revisions and have more readers again.
I'm trying to get a hospital volunteering position on my college campus but they've been making me go back and forth with confirmation stuff. I'll probably only be in it for 6 months and have around 50 hours there when I'm done.
I'm taking a year off next year and hoping to land a scribe position somewhere.
