I need help with my school list... some things about my stats:

  • First MCAT: 29 (10, 9, 10); Second MCAT 31 (10, 11, 10)
  • First generation college student (should I say that I am disadvantaged? I've heard mixed reviews on this.)
  • Paid Nanny - 5 years (3800 hours) during college
  • Worked on the "Vote No Campaign" door-knocking/phone-banking etc. for the Minnesota proposed marriage bam (40 hours)
  • Children's Hospital Volunteer (patient interaction) 85 hours
  • Research - 450 hours which led to...
  • Publication in the Journal of Bacteriology
  • Research for Honors Thesis (summa cum laude) - 300 hours + writing?
  • Poster Presentation at symposium for undergrad thesis (not actually sure how to state this in my application, should I use a new category or put it under my thesis?)
  • Girls on the Run Coach (volunteer): biweekly lessons on leading a healthy life for elementary aged girls plus coaching running and participating in the celebratory 5k - 40 hours
  • VIDA clinical volunteer - clinical volunteer in Costa Rica and Nicaragua - 48 hours clinical volunteer, 8 hours orientation + I was a volunteer coordinator so did 20+ hours planning the trip/leadership.
  • Shadowing - 30 hours radiology department at an urban hospital + 4 hours hand surgeon.
  • 3 unique scholarships, Dean's list every semester
First, I would like to know my chances at UMN (my in-state school) as this is my top choice. I would also like a list of MD schools with some reaches. I really don't have a lot of money to spare on applications, but I want to apply to enough so I get in somewhere. I am not classified URM. Thank you!
