cut brown, they're super selective and most people who go to brown are from some special program. cut SUNY bc suny arent that OOS friendly.

Do you have any other ECs? If all you have is what you listed your ECs are greatly lacking.

Thanks guys! I have cut Brown, UCLA and Rochester at this point. I don't have that much more EC's, but have some work experience and long commitment stuff as well. I definitely want to be in a large(r) city and work in a hospital where I can see a lot.
