Hey guys, I'm not much of a poster, but with my MCAT coming up and stress building, I just wanted to see how I'm looking. I find myself always worrying about my stats (like most other "premeds") and I just wanted to know if I should be this worried or if my stats are "good enough".
I just finished my second year of uni and I'll be applying third year if my MCAT goes well.
OMSAS GPA: 3.95 (I know this is excellent but I worry about my ECs.)
ECs:
-Actively tutor Gen chem and high school chem for ~1 year now + run a chem tutor page that has reached hundreds of thousands of viewers.
-Actively involved in excersize and bone health research for ~4 months now (I love exercise and fitness!)
-Volunteered at the front desk of an optometry clinic that served mostly arab refugees and immigrants. I helped patients navigate various logistical tasks that can be difficult for ESL individuals. ~7 months
-Currently volunteering in a family med clinic as a receptionist, where I have constant interactions with patients. I also take their vitals and room them. I have been doing this for ~1 month and the clinic has just offered me a job!
-Worked as a childcare volunteer during first year summer which I loved. I interacted and led a group of children, educating through play. ~3 months (I plan on doing this again next summer after my MCAT)
-For 2 semesters, I held an executive role in a club that donated ~20k for cancer this year (will continue this next fall)
-For 1 semester, I held an executive position in a club that focused on getting people on the stem cell registry and raising awareness about stem cell related diseases. Something I'm very passionate about as stem cell diseases largely affect children. (I will continue this next fall, maybe even virtually through the summer)
-if it matters, I worked in a restaurant since I was 16 and stopped this april.
-If it matters part 2, I was apart of a hiking group last summer (I love hiking, I love nature, I love excersize)
I currently recognize that advocacy is a weak spot for me and I hope to fill this gap eventually with something I am passionate about.
Anyways that's really all, I want to get involved more with things involving children, perhaps some kind of youth support... but until my MCAT is done it must wait. Let me know how I'm looking, criticize me if I need to do better in some aspect, I'm looking for honesty and advice. I want to know how I'm looking. Thanks.
