Stat(s)!

MNTS 2012 has these notes in an outline form, which initially threw me off, but in the end, I figured out what was going on. That being said, class let out on time, so I went for a walk, got some junk food, and came back. That was a fun class about post-translational modifications though. This afternoon is 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of problem solving workshop. Glad I got most of the workshop out of the way, but I didn't read Lecture 18, so I'm feeling a little short on that.

Anyways, I've had a few questions regarding stats. I'm going to give guesstimates. If you've followed me on SDN, you'll know them more accurately, because I have posted them. Anyways, these are approximations, +/-0.2 pts. There's no closet 4.0 GPA, and I don't want to just turn into a categorical benchmark.

sGPA ~ 3.4, BS in BINF, 2009
cGPA ~ 3.6, downward trend, bad senior year.

MCAT > 32

several years EMS experience
~100 hours shadowing at local hospital
1 year out-of-school research.
Several summers/years of university research.

Also, for some reason, the applications demand my SAT score. Let's just say it's > 1400 for the 1600 SAT, and > 700 for the Writing SAT II when it was around. Who knows if it's still there?

2 years of applications, 1 interview per year, 1 waitlist 2nd year -> rejection

There's no major skeletons in my closet. No drug use, no arrests, not even a driving violation. No alcohol-related incidents, since I am a teetotaler.
