[porpoise]

1. cGPA and sGPA as calculated by AMCAS or AACOMAs: 3.2 uGPA ; SMP GPA 3.7x
2. MCAT score(s) and breakdown: 519
3. State of residence or country of citizenship (if non-US): Northeast
4. Ethnicity and/or race: White

6. Clinical experience (volunteer and non-volunteer): currently working as medical assistant at a hospital (500 hours) with another 1800 anticipated over past year, 1000 hours as clinical research coordinator
7. Research experience and productivity: >8000 hours, 1 poster, 1 publication
8. Shadowing experience and specialties represented: ~100 hours
9. Non-clinical volunteering: 200 hours as tutor; 400 hours volunteer at soup kitchen
10. Other extracurricular activities (including athletics, military service, gap year activities, leadership, teaching, etc): 1000 Hours leadership on student organization
11. Relevant honors or awards: N/A
12. Anything else not listed you think might be important: I first applied in 2022 and had an unsuccessful cycle with only 1 II. Last year I did a half-hearted reapplication to only a few schools, which was a waste of time. Having secured a clinical job, I'm feeling a bit better for this cycle. I still have way more research than clinical exposure . Looking for advice for a school list for a nontrad heavy on research with low uGPA/ high MCAT.

My SMP faculty have given me some very good suggestions but they seemed to think I had a good shot in the previous cycle when I got just 1 II. I felt the advice was overly optimistic. I also think my profile was quite a bit different than all of my friends in the program as I have a lower uGPA, higher MCAT and more research.

Thanks, most of these schools were on my radar. I didn't know about the new medical schools (Walton, Roseman) but I'm not sure if they're open for this cycle.
