Narrowing School List

[Stoltzfus]

3.8 cGPA
3.7 sGPA
34 MCAT (11 BS,12 VR,11 PS)
Anthropology (medical concentration) major

Ohio resident

Experiences:
Very involved in campus EMS club as an EMT, includes prominent leadership position. All volunteer work (this is at least a 12 hour shift/week, then add a minimum of 4 hours/week administration)
Occasional Habitat build/Restore
~60-70 hours shadowing surgeon
1 month observing surgeries in rural Sudan
3 summer research internships where I managed (but did not develop) my own projects, one publication (not first author)
Member of a fraternity
Work experience that seasonally spans back to middle school

Will be:
Studying abroad in Geneva to observe WHA this summer
CPR Instructor by the end of this semester
Filling the rest of my summer either working abroad or in a social sciences research internship

I am extremely interested in programs that have a concentration on global health. I would very much like to work among refugee and conflict populations, and am thus much more invested in primary care than in research. I may also be interested in MD/MPH and/or MD/MA I have a list of schools, but would like to make it shorter. Please let me know which I should get rid of, and if I am missing any that have relevant programs for which I might have a chance. There are a few schools (especially at the beginning of the list) about which I am not particularly excited, but I'm not sure where my safe-zone should be.

You should add Case Western as well as Cleveland Clinic.

 

[Stoltzfus]

My experience has shown that Case Western and the Cleveland Clinic are very heavily invested in biomedical research, and that they are lacking in primary care or student support. I also would very much like to get out of Cleveland.

If you have UCF on there, you'd might as well have USF. Best $30 I ever spent (on the secondary).

Apply to Toledo just in case...

I'd take off Tufts and GWU (ridiculously high tuition) unless you have some special connection to the schools.

Emory, Columbia, and Hopkins are also well known for their global health programs.

Bump. Looking for less schools... not more.
