Activity hours and descriptions
I think I fucked my application.
I'm a non trad first gen student and I had no real idea on how to fill out an application
I have a 510 MCAT and a 3.45 CGPA with a 3.7 sGPA with 5 years of military medic experience with roughly 9500 patient care hours across inpatient and outpatient settings.
I didn't put in any 'shadowing' hours or such on my MD/DO apps even though i worked extensively with them even writing up my own SOAP notes and conferring with them in decision making processes. I just gave a very short positional description of things I did such as team lead, med administration, assesments, etc.
I do have great LOR's from my ED med director I worked with and my PI at a T3 school but I'm pretty sure they won't read them if my application never gets past the "shadowing filter?"
Is my application actually joever? I have 0 interview invites so far even at the two DO schools I applied to and I know that if I get an II after November for one I'm pretty much cooked and guaranteed a waitlist spot which is a crapshoot.
At this point I might just bite the bullet and go carib this Jan since I really really don't want to wait TWO years to just start.
