Brief Profile:
My first application cycle and it\'s going to be very expensive & time consuming haha. That\'s what happens when life hits you in the face during undergrad.
Here it goes!
I have loads of EC\'s including: research, certified teaching, volunteering (clinical and non-clinical), working (clinical and non-clinical), leadership conferences, shadowing... etc...
The thing I\'m most proud of is that I was able to work 40 hrs/wk during most of college and it seemed my grades improved as I became busier - interesting. I\'ve become somewhat of a \"global volunteer\" as well. I volunteer where ever I\'m living and I\'ve even traveled abroad solely to volunteer and immerse myself in other cultures. Hopefully these things beam through my application... Hopefully adcoms and screeners will see that I did things because I wanted to and not to try to impress them because that\'s the truth.
