AMCAS: 3.2/3.2
AACOMAS (with SMP): 3.23/3.05
uGPA trend: 3.14, 3.5, 2.8, 3.1
SMP: 3.8 with 12 credits left
MCAT: 1. 496 2. 500 3. 506
ORM female from NJ
Shadowing: 60
Clinical paid: 1.2k (distributed across 1.5y medical assistant in peds office, 7 months and continuing in clinical research)
Research: 600 (distributed across 1.5 semesters undergrad research, 7 months and continuing in clinical research)
Clinical volunteer: 60 (hospice)
Non clinical volunteer: 200 (tutoring, soup kitchen, non profit food pantry/thrift org, dance school)
Leadership: in a cultural club on campus, founded a new STEM research club on campus, trained and certified to work personally with victims of domestic violence in my state, and on collegiate competitive dance team, started zoom dance classes for kids during covid to stay active while in lockdown
Tutoring: paid 200 hours during freshman year, this is a continued activity which I was doing from freshman year in high school
LORS (all strong): 2 science, 1 nonscience, 1 PI, 1 MD
Reason for extreme dip in GPA: domestic violence and sexual assault junior year which exacerbated my already existing anxiety leading to onset of seizures. Did not get therapy due to parents, saved up for it by working myself and now I am going to therapy and formally diagnosed with and medicated for GAD.
My chances seem slim to none due to my stats, and I’m not sure that my 30 credit SMP will even begin to make up for it. I’m applying for Fall 2025 matriculation, so this coming cycle. Nobody in my family is in healthcare (only my father is educated, I am the oldest daughter in immigrant household, everyone else including my extended family are still in home country as farmers besides 1 set of cousins) and I feel like all the odds are against me at this point. if anyone can offer school list advice or can look at my PS for me, I’d appreciate it. I’m slowly turning more and more neurotic over this and feel like zero schools will give me a chance due to my low stats and inconsistent upward trend. Please help me create a school list!!
