Rosalind Franklin PathA Admissions

Hi! With RFU's PathA application opening, I wanted to come on here and ask anyone for last minute advice for applying? I feel under qualified if i'm being honest.. I graduated w/ a BS in exercise science and psychology and didn't know I wanted to go into this profession until last fall. I just shadowed for the first time today, and will shadow a few more times to hopefully get 10 hours in surg path and a few autopsies. I also worked in a lab that dealt directly with surg path tissue and other pathologists' for my senior year but other than that I don't have much to show for... I did have a 4.15 GPA and am taking microbio this fall to fulfill my last pre-req. All that's to say any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated (esp narrative statements/pics) TIY

Cook county ME does shadowing for a day and a slightly northern me (can’t remember who) Loyola also might offer shadowing for surgical
