Cdn With Us Undergrad...advice On Schools?

[edm1992]

Hey everyone! 

 

I know these kinds of topics are common....but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and would love some advice from the PM101 community.

 

I'm Canadian, but finished my U.S. undergrad in 2014. I currently still live in the States and applied to U of C and U of A this cycle, but was rejected at U of A and waitlisted at U of C.

 

Stats:

 

GPA: 3.86

MCAT (2013): 31 (12BS/9VR/10PS)

Taking the 2015 MCAT in August

 

Employment:

Currently working at a pharmaceutical company doing cancer research (since July 2014) no pubs, 1 poster

2 years Ochem Workshop Tutor

Small tutoring positions in college

Other minor non-med related employment

 

ECs:

NCAA D1 athlete (4 years) - 12 years competitive sports prior

Hospice volunteer 1 year (2013/14)

Nursing home (specializing w/ patients w/ dementia) 3 months (2012)

Shadowing/volunteering Urgent Car clinic 1 year (2014/15)

Undergrad research 1 year (no pubs just 1 poster)

Minor volunteer events (one-day events, packing boxes for troops, mentoring children grieving lost parents, etc)

 

Going to apply to Canada again...but what US schools do you think I have a chance at as a Cdn with a US undergrad? I have done some research on it but would love to hear first hand account from people who have experience with the US system

 

Thanks SO much for any help!

Look through these threads, and apply to all of the same schools that Canadian undergrads would apply too - with the addition of schools that will consider you as an OOS due to your US undergrad. Will be a bit more leg work to find out those handful of schools who will give you that extra shot due to US undergrad - but overall, the list won't be significantly different.

Even some schools in Michigan, include Canadians as OOS and not "international" as an example.

looks solid.
