lkayprepa Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone! I am hoping to apply in the coming application cycle but am unsure if I am competitive in certain areas. If anyone also has recommendations for schools that would fit well with my stats please let me know! BS Neurobiology, minor in Business GPA: 3.98, science GPA: 4.00, last 60 or so credits: 4.00 GRE: 166 QR, 160 VR, 5 writing PCE: 1,600 as phlebotomist (around 2000 at time of application submission) Research: 2 yrs in radiation oncology transitional research lab (no pt contact) Volunteering: 350 hours (working with a disabled woman, animal shelter, food pantry, hippotherapy) Involvement: Pre-health org (Exec board 2 yrs), service fraternity (Alpha Phi Omega, exec board 1 yr), online peer support organization (messaging students that submit in need of advice / support) Shadowing: 65 with PA's (ER, UC, Gyn Onc), 30 MD (Family), 40 Veterinary (Onc, Surgery), 10 Paramedic LOR: one neurobiology professor, PA I shadowed, clinical supervisor Are there any schools I would have a better chance at with a high GPA but low PCE? Any advice or thoughts are appreciated! Edited March 25, 2019 by lkayprepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think you should apply with 2000 hours and see what happens. The rest of your application is solid. Just make sure you have a strong personal sramement. You can pick schools that don’t have an extremely high average number of hours, but it can’t hurt to apply to some “reach” schools as well. You never know what will happen Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGoLong Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 You will get early consideration at many schools with your 2000 hrs, grades, etc.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
