So I am currently a senior in college and I am from Texas. My current cGPA and sGPA is a 3.5. I took the MCAT already and I am within range of the average mcat for matriculants. I have about 300 hours of shadowing in Podiatry/Cardiology/Internal Medicine/ENT. I have a lot of volunteering down and leadership positions that I have held and continue to hold. My application is officially complete and I will be submitting it sometime this week. The only challenge I am encountering is which schools to apply to? I have done some basic research, but I truly understand that each school has its pros and cons and that I know for sure I do not have the money to apply and interview at 9 schools. I am thinking of applying to about 3-4 schools, but need help narrowing it down. Ideally, I wanna stay close to Texas (Barry, AZ), but I am open to going to the Northeast side of the country (NY, Ohio, Kent, Temple). I have never lived in any other state besides Texas so it will be a new experience. I want a school that wants students to understand and learn and for them not to just be a number out like 500 for example. I also want a school that matches top residencies. I hope I have given enough detail, but I am more than happy to answer questions you may have to better help me!! Once again, thank you guys so much in advance!!!
