Application cycles: 2007
Demographics: Female, Caucasian
Home state: Tennessee

Brief Profile: - Worked as Director for cancer advocacy non-profit for 2 years post-college.
- 3 medical mission trips abroad
- Extensive clinical shadowing/volunteering - free clinic, shadowed general surgeon, cancer center
- Research assistant for organic chem professor - bench science investigating esophageal cancer
- served on numerous health care committees - cancer coalitions, IRBs, community initiatives
- Numerous honor societies undergrad but because I had been out of school for 3 years at the time my app was submitted, I really didn't focus much on undergrad involvement - really didn't have enough space on app so chose to focus on more recent (and arguably more relevant post-bac work)

Basically, I have been told that my weakest area extracurricularly is lack of basic science research - but then that is only from the research-intensive schools. All of my interviewers and recommenders were extremely commending of my extracurriculars.

Summary of Application Experience

Applying late really hurt me - was not AMCAS confirmed until Oct and ultimately was told by UoL, VCU, MUSC and UAB that I probably would have received an interview if app had been in earlier. Frustrating but at this point with 2 - 3 acceptances, I am pretty happy with the outcome.
