Hi everyone! I am trying to narrow down my school list for the upcoming cycle, which is proving to be more difficult than I expected. My main goal is simply to get in somewhere so I want to have a school list that gives me the best chance. Another huge goal would be to get a merit scholarship, so I tried to pick schools that seem to offer aid! I am hoping to apply to around 20 schools… does that seem reasonable?
sGPA and cGPA: 4.0
MCAT score: 523
OR resident, ORM, Asian female
Large state school
Clinical experience:
350 hours hospital volunteer with direct patient care. 150 hours clinic volunteer. 100 hours of shadowing across three specialties.
Research experience and productivity
1000+ hours in molecular biology wet lab. Honors thesis, one low-author pub, one poster at national conference.
Non-clinical volunteering
500+ hours in 4 separate non-clinical volunteering activities and leadership activities that all center around promoting food security. This is a pretty big passion of mine with demonstrated leadership and commitment to service in this area.
Relevant honors or awards
Various honors and research funding awards through my university and local organizations.
Current school list (need to remove 4 if I want to get to 20).
