Brief Profile:
-Traditional applicant-submitted primary summer after junior yr -Neurobio concentration and very unique second major (my "hook") with attached research and honors thesis -Heavy research background in several labs, 1 third author pub (published in winter of cycle), 1 abstract, couple of small grants -Leadership role on student publication -Leadership role in dorm (handful of associated service events) -Dance troupe member -Fairly strong shadowing experience (>100 hrs but in only 2 related specialties) -Medical fraternity (handful of associated service events) -Intramural sports -A few miscellaneous honors/awards -As evidenced from above, no real sustained involvement in any one service activity...probably my biggest weakness...
