-2 years of research in a super independent lab, could talk about it for days but no publications or presentations... yet
-One week trip to Honduras and one week trip to Panama. I raised the funds by myself and have been continually involved in the organization for 2 years now. Great shadowing opportunities.
-Spent the summer before my freshman, sophomore and junior year volunteering at a hospital. There are a ton of hours here. I'd say a total of +200 medically related volunteer hours. Had to stop this opportunity to work full time during the summer for monetary reasons.
-Along with the volunteering, I was able to shadow physicians in pre and post op, along with scrubbing up for various orthopedic surgeries (neck, spine, knee to name a few). I'd say +80 shadowing hours
-I have a leadership role in a comedy group on my campus, organizing meetings and events with the members along with writing and acting in various sketches and videos. My title is executive event coordinator.
-During the past 3 summers, and coming up on this summer, I worked 40 hours a week as a trades assistant. I have learned a lot of carpentry and HV/AC along with a little plumbing. This is a manual labor job.
-Church stuff: My freshman year I traveled down to Mississippi for a week to rebuild homes for people who were affected by hurricane Katrina. I'm also a Eucharistic minister.
-Hobbies: I ski a lot and I love woodworking
Summary- Don't apply late. My MCAT didn't have a writing score so that's just a random letter
