Hi Everyone, so I'm looking for advice on my school list. Here's what I've got:
Colorado resident, applied in 2011, only got one interview at state school, then wait listed and rejected at the end of the summer. I applied too competitively.
3.65 cGPA 3.79 sGPA (I had a 2.6 Fresh year as an Architecture major, switched to English and Biochem double major got>3.85 the next four years, graduated in 5 years).
32 MCAT 12PS11BS9VR
Activities:
AmeriCorps (Currently)
1.5 years as research assistant in a lab at state med school
Summer Bioethics Internship
TA for a creative writing class at a prison
Hospice Volunteer (10 months by June, and currently doing this)
Hospital Volunteering (100 hrs) & Shadowing (3 docs ~50 hrs)
Honors thesis in English
Honors thesis in Biochemistry
TA for 8 classes (gen chem, o chem, and intro chem)
Director of student leadership program four 4 years
Hobbies: writing (published some poems and such), ultimate frisbee, painting, etc
Pre health club (AED)
Worked at my schools outdoor program
Alternative Breaks trip leader
Worked for a student group that promoted responsible drinking while in college
School List:
(*means I applied there in 2011)
(feel free to add or take away schools)
Tulane
Quinnipiac
Drexel*
Temple*
Albert Einstein*
Thomas Jefferson*
Hofstra
New York Medical College
Albany*
Rochester*
SUNY Upstate
Stony Brook*
UVA
Michigan State
Kentucky
Iowa
Wisconsin
Wake Forest
Loyola*
University of Vermont
Rosalind Franklin
Penn State*
Louisville
Northstate California (I think they will take applicants next year)
USC
Colorado*
Arizona
Also, I'm trying not to apply to over 30 schools. Ideally I will only apply to 20 (I don't have the money to apply to more).
Also note that Colorado is not as favorable to instate applicants as they were in years past (65% In state last year) so I'm not banking on getting in there.
Thanks! :thumbup:
