Date of submission:
Overall GPA: 3.57
Science GPA: 3.31
Bio-Chem-Physics GPA: 3.25
DAT score (include AA and all sections): Taking soon, currently sitting at an AA 20-22 on practice
State of Residence: Pennsylvania
Undergrad Attended: PSU
Major: Biobehavioral Health
Minor: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Health and Human Development, Biology
Minority? No
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? No
Shadowing Experience: 120 Hours in private practice (general and pediatric), ~1000 hours Dental Assisting
Volunteering Experience: About 100 hours volunteering with/mentoring college aged students with disabilities, 20 hours in a clinic for underserved communities, 20 hours with the Red Cross
Employment: Dental Assistant (about 1000 hours)
Research: 2 different labs, both looking at Human Development and Child Health. First lab about 200 hours, second lab about 60 hours.
Other Extracurriculars: Biobehavioral Health Society Treasurer, Club Swimming, Pre-Dental Society, Penn State THON (largest student run philanthropy in the world) DEI chair, My sorority's DEI committee.
Relevant Honors or Awards: Deans list
LOR type and strength: Non-science professor (very strong, great relationship), dentist I shadowed with (decently strong), Research lead (okay, could be stronger in my opinion), Biology professor (decent, hard for me with a year being fully virtual), Physics Professor (decent)
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: I got C's in all of my chemistry classes (due to my first year being online and poor mental health in addition to new faculty), but I got A's in all of the labs and have an upward trend in all of my coursework. I did well in all of my other pre-reqs, but I am worried these C's will stick out like a sore thumb. Ideally I would like to apply this year and go to school after graduation, but I'm wondering if a masters/postbacc would help my application be more appealing.
School list:I am not super set on these as I won't be applying until later this year, but this is what I'm thinking so far.
