cgpa 3.3
sgpa 3.6
MCAT- Haven't taken yet, but projecting a 32 to 34 after practice tests
Age: 30
Non-Traditional- Family, three kids
Bachelors: HIM (Texas State University)
Initial bad grades and withdrawals during freshman and sophomore year with strong upward trend, culminating with Deans List both semesters Junior and Senior year. My bad grades were immaturity plain and simple. I was a young idiot who cared about spending more time with his future wife, then girlfriend, than studying. Started to get serious after first child. We got married really young. Had to take time off to work so wife could finish her degree. Went through ROTC program got branch of choice in Med services all while in national guard.
EC:
- 4 years enlisted Texas Guard during college, 3 years active and counting.
- Active member in college church group through out college
- Medical Services Officer
- One deployment as Platoon Leader
- Tons of time watching the Docs, PA, medics and nurses. Got to see both garrison and deployed military medicine. Good and bad. Bored and excited. Docs with too much time and Docs with too little. Best experience I could have had. Found my true love and passion for medicine.
- Trained over 600 foreign troops in Combat Lifesaver techniques CLS.
- Trained 45 NATO partner dudes in CLS.
- Facilitated advanced CLS class for 80 infantry dudes. Supervised and refined.
- Helped organize advanced training for medics taught by docs. Also got to observe.
- Platoon supported 145 theatre security operations
- Supervised two aid stations deployed, supported a third
- Medical Logistics officer for a brigade
- Will be XO for Medical Company before applying
------------------------
Looking for info on whether I'm competitive or not at USUHS, MD schools and DO schools. Would love to do USUHS and stay active, but want medicine enough to go civilian via HPSP.
Thanks you Gentlemen, tips, advice and hints much appreciated.
