I defer to the experts for a more serious post, but if you write well about your activities and construct a good narrative around why medicine and improving healthcare for patients with disabilities, I'd be shocked if you don't get interviews at a couple T10 schools.
How does a 3.94 fair for top medical schools (1 B-, 1 B+, 2 A-, rest A/A+s) especially as Indian applicant? Especially for stat heavy schools like NYU and WashU
There's really little difference between 3.94 and 4.00. Don't even think about this! On paper, your application looks fine for top schools, including NYU/WashU. No one can say what exactly your chances are. It's really a crap shoot applying.
Obviously higher is always better but no one will reject you for a 3.94 vs a 4.0. Just guessing here but I’d say <3.9 and 4.0 would have some difference (for top programs)
Non-Clinical Volunteering: Tutoring for individuals with disabilities, volunteer at program for children with ASD and other disabilities receiving therapy and care, volunteer for homeless (distribute); 1000 hours volunteering
You can count it, just make a note in the description that 200 hours were part of X program for credit/requirement for your degree. People do research for college credit and list it in W&A. Some students have shadowing as part of a course and then list it in W&A. I listed something that was a requirement in my W&A because it was significant to me. I'll send you a PM so I don't doxx myself.
Yes, definitely. It was actually volunteering out of my own interest. I learned I needed experiential learning credit later on to get the minor. So I applied the volunteering for credit later on, but my initial motive was simply to volunteer out of interest.
