Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior at UB, and Jacobs School of Medicine is my dream medical school!
I started my pre-med journey a year later than planned, so I'm still catching up on some prerequisite courses and will be taking more during my senior year.
I was wondering if anyone here has been accepted to Jacobs or is currently attending. I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience!
If you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to know:
- Your GPA and science GPA
- MCAT score
- Clinical experience and hours
- Research experience and hours
- Volunteering and shadowing hours
- Whether you took any gap years
- Anything that helped your application stand out
I'd also love to know if you did your undergrad at UB and whether there were any specific opportunities or resources at UB that helped you prepare for medical school.
I'm trying to figure out what I should focus on during my remaining time in undergrad to become a competitive applicant.
Any advice would mean a lot! Thank you so much!! :)
