12. Anything else not listed you think might be important Reapplicant from last year, only received 1 II (think it was a combo of applying late and too top heavy)

I am a reapplicant and recreating my school list. I think my primary problem last year was applying too top heavy. I am fine living anywhere, just want to cut out some schools on my list and make sure they are all decently OOS friendly. Hoping to trim out around 10 schools and apply to 25-30 schools. Any and all help appreciated.

Where was your interview, and how late was late?

Details about your non-clinical volunteering? What is your purpose as a physician? What do you want to do 10 years from now? The OP list seems to be driven mostly by stats as I don't see anything relevant for mission fit from what has been described. You are trying to focus on 25-30, so make the choices align with these questions.
