<p>1 summer of hospital volunteering
working as a pharmaceutical technician
volunteering at nursing home
volunteering at library/a school
3 student organizations, with one leadership position</p>
<p>What would be the likelihood of getting accepted into the following med schools:
Northwestern
University of Chicago
University of Illinois
Loyola University</p>
<p>Not because you wouldn't be a qualified applicant - actually, you'd be very qualified - but because you simply cannot apply to FOUR medical schools and expect to be admitted to any of them - the odds are just too low.</p>
<p>Even well-qualified applicants should be applying to 15-20 schools - more if you attend a less-prestigious undergraduate school.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, you'd be a very well qualified applicant numerically.</p>
<p>Assuming your undergraduate school has a reasonable track record, and assuming that your 15 schools are spread out over the spectrum (i.e. not just US News' top 15), an applicant with numbers like these would PROBABLY be admitted somewhere.</p>
<p>This is also contingent on your essays and interviews.</p>
<p>With that said, upon re-read, your hypothetical extras do seem on the weak side. Look for some research opportunities, in particular.</p>
<p>Yes, but less so than something hardcore biomedical, if only because the people making the decision understand clinical relevance more than mathematical usefulness.</p>
<p>Still, in terms of demonstrating intellectual curiousness and capacity, it would certainly go a long way.</p>
<p>It's important to do what you love and allow that to show by your commitment. The student leadership position you mentioned in your hypothetical resume; if that is something you truly love and you can allow that to show your commitment on maybe your essays or at your interview, you can really enhance your chances. Don't do something just to get a leadership position or just because it looks good. Do something you love and medical schools will reward you.</p>
