Hi all!
UC undergrad, California resident
3.92 GPA
36 MCAT (13/12/11)
ECs:
2 years of synthetic chemistry research - multiple conferences, posters, likely publication in the coming quarter. About 22 hours a week
1 year of clinical emergency medicine research - around 200 hours total
Vice President of Mixtape Society, a student organization on campus
Two quarters of emergency medicine clinical experience - 80 hours
Shadowing a primary care doctor - 20 hours
Hobbies:
(Not too sure how relevant or important these are, or how this will fit into my app but I figured I would jot these down)
DJing - would spend a couple hours a day crate digging, and eventually moved on to making mixes that I could contribute to the Mixtape Society
Skateboarding - lots of flatground and ledge skating, and a bit of stairs!
School List (VERY tentative, and would love your help to build upon and/or narrow down):
BU
Yale
SUNY Downstate, Upstate, Stonybrook
Temple
Tufts
Brown
UCSD
UCLA
UCD
UCI
UCR
UCSF
Northwestern
Columbia
NYU
USC
Georgetown
Emory
University of Illinois
University of Chicago
Dartmouth
University of Colorado
University of Rochester
Oregon Health & Science
Cornell
University of Pittsburgh
The most obvious impression I get is that my list is VERY top heavy, but I would appreciate feedback on schools within my reach and far out of my reach. Also, I had trouble finding lower tier schools to balance out my list as I am not too familiar with many of them.
Also, I would love to stay in California, so if anyone could comment on my chances for any of the UCs and USC, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks all!
