<p>please help me decide what/if I'm lacking. I really am dedicated to medicine and I don't know what i'll do if i don't get into a program :( (yes there are other ways but still...) I've worked really hard.</p>
<p>thank you guys in advance for your insight.</p>
<p>I think you have very good chances of getting into a program. You have leadership, EC’s, volunteerism, medical-related activities/research, and something that makes you very unique (DoSomething Sugar Land). </p>
<p>Just make sure that as you are going through the application and interview process, you let your true intentions shine through. Don’t try to be someone you’re not; this is something that the directors and admissions panel can see right through. Go back to the basic question: “Why do you want to become a doctor?” Really think why you want to be one, and that is what will help you through this whole process.</p>
<p>Overall, your resume is really great! However, your resume can only take you so far. Make sure your essays and you interviews really show why you want to be a doctor and who you truly are.</p>
<p>thank you for your insight and thank you for the compliment. I really do try hard to address all my interests and hobbies. but there are only so many hours in a day.</p>
<p>Make sure to apply to wide range of programs/UG’s. You do not know at this point, but there are many in front of you, no matter what you do. There are kids with connections, hooks,…etc. Do not take any rejections personally. You have done EVERYTHING that you could. Perfect GPA’s/SAT’s got rejections also. It is more competitive than Ivy’s, so be prepared for anything. The best wishes!</p>
<p>What state are you from? Honestly it makes a HUGE difference; if you’re from alabama or ohio i would say you have a really good chance, and some states mean you have a hella lower chance.</p>
<p>Are you a junior?..very impressive resume…I wish I could have done as much as you T_T
If you are in junior year…then perhaps you could try doing some science fairs with your research at MD Anderson. Not sure how much that would help, but hey, if you make it to ISEF or something I am sure anyone would be impressed</p>
and thank you for the compliment. I really do try hard to address all my interests and hobbies. but there are only so many hours in a day.</p>
