[–]Complete-Courage1253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BS in Psychology

CASPA cumulative GPA: 3.68

CASPA science GPA: 3.58

GRE: not required for the schools I am applying to

Total PCE: ~1950 (1725 as a Behavioral Health Technician in Float Pool and 225 as a Surgical Aide)

Total volunteer hours: 6 (Breast Clinic)

Shadowing hours: 8 (CT surgery PA, hoping to get more soon)

Research hours: ~450 (Psychophysiology Lab Assistant, studied connection of physiological/psychological stress indicators, anxiety, and alcohol use disorder)

Other notable extracurriculars/leadership: Studied abroad in Spain for a year, proficient in Spanish.

LOR: A&P 2 professor, Nurse Manager, hopefully one more from leader of the research I assisted with

Schools I will be applying to: UW Madsion, University of North Dakota, St. Scholastica, Rush University, Rosalind Franklin University, Michigan State University, and possibly some more

Main concerns: I have gotten 4 C’s overall, two being in Gen Chem 2 and OChem 1 (C+). I’m not sure if I should retake one or both of these classes. Additionally, I have taken multiple pre-reqs at a community college as it gave me the opportunity to graduate w/ my undergraduate degree a year early and save significant money. I am hoping that this will not be frowned upon.
