Hey guys!
I'm in the process of choosing my schools right now and I need some help getting a good list going. I'm a VA resident (originally French Canadian, here as a permanent resident). My cGPA is a 3.97 and my sGPA is a 3.99. I haven't taken my MCAT yet but I've been averaging anywhere between 32 to 38 on my practices, expecting at least a 32 but hoping for a 34-35. I have 2 years of research with one poster presentation and one abstract publication. I'm a 4 year college-football athlete at a D3 school. I have 70+ hours of shadowing, 150+ hours of non-clinical volunteering, and I recently started working as a scribe in the ER. I'd also like to point out I'm starting to lean towards pediatrics more because of my volunteer work which was mostly with children. Here is my list of schools, which includes all VA schools: University of Virginia Eastern Virginia Medical School Virginia Commonwealth University Virginia Tech Hopkins (huge reach) UNC (also reach) Baylor (again, reach) Boston University (dream school) Maryland Wake Forest Temple Vermont New York University University Florida Tufts University of South Carolina West Virginia Drexel McGill (since I'm a Quebec Native) Creighton Do you guys think I have too many reach school and not enough safe schools? What schools would you cut out/keep. I want to stay more on the east coast if possible and the farther up north the better (but now I'm just being picky!) Also keep in consideration I'm not taking my mcats until July 14th! I have already been accepted to VCOM (DO school) as part of an early admission process so I always have that as a backup plan. Thanks and looking forward to seeing what you guys think! Last edited by mtremblay; 06-02-2012 at 07:41 AM. Reason: Added Creighton to the list |
