Brief Profile:
First generation college student. Significant upward trend in GPA. Bio major/ Public Health minor. Nontraditional(?) I guess; Currently working in healthcare administration. For confidentiality reasons, LizzyM ~65.
About 3 years experience in a microbiology basic science lab. No publications from this work.
2 years+ volunteering at a free clinic as a clinic assistant (duties involved collecting vitals, interviewing patients, updating charts, etc.) Fair Spanish fluency.
Shadowed (3 months) primary care doctors in an underserved clinic.
Gap year working in health administration/finance as a manager of clinical and research accounts of an orthopaedic surgery practice.
Currently volunteering as a lab assistant in a cadaver surgical lab. Started research on surgical outcomes in a clinical setting with Orthopaedic Surgery faculty/residents I work with.
1 publication in a not-so-well-known journal, but on something on the effect of changes in health administration/structure on patient care.
I think most of my letters of rec were pretty strong, but I know at least one could have been much better.

Summary of Experience:
#1 interest for MD/MPH program. -My first OOS interview! I could have had an earlier interview data, but due to the distance and time I needed to take off from work, etc. I had to schedule it a little later than I wanted.
2001OSM took the old MCAT and scored a 3 which is in the 0 percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 472 on the updated scale which is in the -1st percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted 2001OSM’s section scores as follows:
2001OSM scored a 1 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
2001OSM scored a 1 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
2001OSM scored a 1 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 118 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
