Hi everyone, I just got my MCAT score and have begun looking at schools for 2010. I'm an NYC resident and would love to get into UMDNJ-SOM. I was hoping you guys could give me an opinion on my chances on getting in and some info on your experience at the school.
MCAT: PS 8 BS 9 VR 10
GPA: Under grad 3.4 (Sci and non Sci are same) Grad : 4.0 (MS BIO in progress)
EC's: Some volunteer work not much, about 60hr shadowing a physician/ Biology tutor/ teacher (college level) Breast cancer researcher, 2 grants 2 conferences (undergrad). Laboratory technician, independent study completed. Bilingual (Russian), a few other things but those I'll leave for the app. process.
I've signed up for a tour next Wed and the open house on April 24th. This is my 1st choice school so anything that can help my chances I welcome.
Sorry in advance for the lengthy post, I'm just trying to get all of it out there so I don't have to be reposting extensive follow up questions.
