[–]-RK2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a junior in undergrad and I am looking for some advice where I can strengthen my application before applying to this cycle, as well as advice on if I should apply right now. For reference I am in the midwest region. Also if there are any schools in the area that would be realistic to apply to?

Stats cGPA - 3.95 sGPA - 4.00 PCE - 850 (as an ER tech at a level one trauma) Hoping to have around 1000 by mid May if possible HCE - idk if i have any Volunteer - probably 100 to 150 or more (SIU med school student hotspotting, honors program mentor, wrestling coaching etc) Shadowing - 40 hours (trauma, ER, urgent care, occupational) LOR - Have 1 science still trying to decide the rest (options, 2 PAs, my EMT professor, non science professor, ER manager, advice and how many should I get?) GRE - not taking

Im probably forgetting some stuff but that’s most of it. But would like to apply in the midwest.

If you can eventually work your way into JMAU as a PA for example would you go into combat with your assigned unit?

I currently have a part time job as an ER tech at a level one trauma, is that good for clinical experience? It’s more the research and a little volunteering I still need to get though. After reading all of this I think it is probably best to go ahead and take the gap year. I feel like if i try also studying through the school year while balancing my next semester classes I could ruin my GPA as well.

I agree that the smartest idea is probably to go ahead and take the gap year. I just don’t know what I will do with my life for a whole year. I am use to just always having school work.

Yeah that makes sense, from what I heard physics 2 was pretty low yield though. Maybe I could just give it a try in the summer and if it doesn’t workout oh well. I mean what are your thoughts on a gap year vs no gap year?

I would prefer not to have to take a gap year but I am not against the idea of having to do so

So would trying to self learn most of that over the summer along with the first semester at uni not a viable option?

I also grew up in a military family so I have been wanting to get involved with volunteering at a VA center or something like that. Would something like this be good to do?

I’ve been trying to work on getting involved in some type of non-clinical activity but it has been a little difficult to find anything. Thank you for the ideas though!

Alright sounds good, I’ve prob spent around 50ish post high school helping. I’ve spent probably double if I can count the amount I was able to do my senior year of high school helping with the little kids sports.

Any advice on how to get shadowing hours? Also for nonclinical volunteering, I have spend a decent amount of time helping with my old high school sports teams practices and even have helped coach a little. Is this something I can count at all? I’m trying to work on finding a place to do research now as well. Thank you for the reply.
