Long time lurker, first time posting for the 2014 app cycle.
cGPA: 3.54
sGPA; 3.35
MCAT: not taken
Was in a Chemistry PhD program and withdrew the first semester due to father's illness and figuring out that I wanted actual patient interaction, instead of just making compounds that would never become actual drugs for patients. Was researching on the opioid pathways, because I am greatly interested in drug addiction from having to deal with friends/family that struggle everyday with this. I want to go into a psych residency and then hopefully an addiction fellowship.
ECs:
Worked as a pharmacy technician, saw drug addiction first hand, i.e. customers coming in only for opiates and needles. Worked as a medical technologist for a drug testing company, aliquoting urine samples.
Undergrad: Full-tuition scholarship
Volunteer Service Coordinator for Scholarship club for 1 year
No shadowing yet
Are my EC's too weak, as well as being a dropout for schools like RVU, AZCOM, PCOM, etc?
Thanks for the advice
