Cars: 126 (70%)
Bio: 131 (99%)
Behavioral: 131 (98%)

Both science and cumulative gpa are 3.95

Work/activites (worried about this section):
-Undergrad research assistant, 2 semesters (450 hrs). No publications or anything special
-Volunteering at hospital, 4 semesters (140 hrs)
-Non-clinical volunteering (50hrs) at memorial foundation
-Tutored high school students (35 hrs)
-Intramural sports (35hrs)
-Summer job as camp counselor for 3 summers, about 440hrs a summer
-shadowing (35hrs)
-Hobby= fitness training (1200hrs of exercising) additional 100hrs of training/mentoring others.

I'm looking to apply to like 20 schools, so far I have done secondaries for:
Tufts
Rosalind franklin
Boston univeristy
Tulane
Rochester
Tufts
Iowa

Would also like to apply to:
Miami
Keck

I need help with my schools list, since I have weak ECs I don't know how high I can reach. Thanks in advance @Goro @gyngyn @gonnif

You're fine for any school. The tippy top might be a stretch but you've got as good a shot as anyone else. Definitely apply to Illinois. I'm not super worried about your ECs as long as you have something to talk about and cam demonstrate in your secondaries and interviews why you want to go into medicine.

Your ECs are solid; nothing that really stands out, but still well rounded. Your current list is pretty good, you can add those schools you are considering.

I'd also look into: Loyola, Rush, UChicago, Einstein, Hofstra, NYU, Sinai, Cornell, Emory, Case Western, Pitt,

Cool. So I probably don't have any business applying to like harvard, duke, or any Cali schools besides USC?

I'll add Loyola, rush, Pitt forsure. You think I have a shot at Uchicago and case?

You certainly have a shot at them, but don't expect anything.

Yeah I'd say you have a shot with a ~37/3.95. Sometimes its best to apply to a gamut of top schools and see which ones bite.

 

[bengirlxD]

You should apply to some in the top 20. Your stats are pretty solid and at the end of my junior year if I end up close to those stats, I definitely would
