So I'm in a unique situation, but I'll start with stats:
MCAT: 36Q (PS: 13, BS: 12, VR: 11)
Berkeley GPA: Cu: 3.77, Sci: 3.69
-150 hours shadowing physiatrists
-100 teaching patients in medical classes
-tons of hours as a patient
-tons of mentoring program experience for underpriveleged youth (2 diff programs)
-quad rugby
-2 years as healthcare consultant, worked directly with hospital CFOs--strong interest in healthare policy
-just began in may 08, clinical research and ghostwriting on multiple sclerosis
I'm also disabled and NEED to be in good climate and flat areas. Wheelchairs + hills + rain = my worst nightmare. My dream places to live, other than AZ (which is prob optimal), all have crazy competitive schools, ie CA and the west in general.
Any ideas on schools that may meet my criteria? My list is as follows, but I want it bigger! I need more safeties but bummed about their weather.
I'm also scared of Pennsylvania. Dont know why. Could a wheelchair make it there? hows the weather?
