I will be applying next cycle. I am currently a Junior in Chemical Engineering, and I take the MCAT in January. I have already taken all the pre reqs and making 512s-518s consistently on practice tests.
Academics:
GPA: 3.84 sGPA: 3.87
MCAT: 512-518 (based on practice tests) AVG= 514
Clinical Experiences:
Volunteered in the Emergency Room ~ 75 hours
Worked as a tech in the ER ~ 1000 hours
Physician Shadowing ~ 40 hours
Jobs:

Leadership:
Oversee other tutors
Lead Lifeguard (trained other lifeguards)
Volunteer experiences:
Volunteer at Salvation Army for Summer~50 hours
Volunteer at local food pantry ~ 25 hours
Research:
Undergraduate Research Fellow in Optics and Molecular Physics ~ Will be 400 hours
-----> This includes a poster presentation and hopefully a publication (fingers crossed!)
My state residence is Alabama; however, I have family in NYC and want to be as close to the City as possible.
What are my chances at the following schools?!
