Hey All,

I just received my MCAT score a few days ago, and I was hoping from some feedback about my school list.
So here are my stats:
TN resident, Registered Oglala Sioux
University of Memphis Bio/Biochem Major, cGPA:3.66, sGPA: 3.5, Upward trend from sophomore year
MCAT: 516, 129/126/131/130
ECs: Worked in multiple research lab through college (2 years at SJCRH lab), REU program with presentation at NCUR (no pubs)
Scribe x1.5 years with a single MD (4000 hrs), Volunteered through BBBS x1 year and local bike program x6 months, Shadowed a Surgeon and Intensivist each for 40+ hrs, Tutored Student Athletes, Played in a local band x2 years, Chemistry course TA, Rugby player
Strong LORs

Due to crazy costs of applying, especially for OOS privates, I'd like some objective analysis of my chances for my list so far.

Schools (kinda NY heavy, will likely cut down):

UTHSC
Albert Einstein
UAB
ETSU
Mount Sinai
UW
SUNY
NY Medical college
UG Augusta
NYU
Arkansas at LR
UNC Chapel
Dartmouth (super reach)
Wake Forest

Any additions or helping trim the list would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I got a little cold feet and narrowed my school list down to:

UTHSC
Albert Einstein
UAB
ETSU
UW
NY Medical college
UNC Chapel
Dartmouth

Now that I've submitted my App, I'm wondering if I left any out. Should I apply to any additional schools?
My pre-health advisor shed no light on this matter. Any help?
 
Like gyngyn said you are good for any OOS private you want to include on your list. While each school may differ in how they evaluate native Americans specifically, it doesn't detract from the overall point a URM with a 3.6/35 wont have problems getting quite a healthy number of IIs from very high end private schools.
