I'm in the process of deciding which secondaries to actually complete (shouldn't have applied in the first place) and/or which schools to add/remove from my post-verification additions. Money is tight, so I'm trying to trim any unnecessary secondaries.
I have 550 clinical hours and 150 non-clinical hours from 1 activity over 2 years. No research.
3.3 sGPA, 3.19 cGPA, 3.98 postbacc @ 60 units, 518 MCAT. My poor GPA comes from math/stats classes from UG, and my BCP work in post-bacc has been all A's and 1 A-.
I did not realize Creighton and Gtown were very service-oriented, so I am thinking I should just take the primary fee loss and not bother with the secondaries at these school.
Also, Kaiser looks crazy competitive with their 50-person class size and 6k+ apps, so idk if my stats warrant actually submitting the secondary.
I am a CA resident with ties to NY (graduated HS from NY).
The schools I applied to are: UCSF, UCI, USC, Tufts, Emory, Kaiser, Case, Dartmouth, Wake Forest, Wayne State, CUSM, Netter, Albany, Hackensack, Drexel, GW, Tulane, MCW, Temple, Jefferson, SUNY Downstate, Upstate, Creighton, Gtown, Vermont, Nova, Rosy Franklin
The schools I am thinking of adding: Western Michigan, Hofstra, maybe Pitt and Stony Brook?
I'll be completing all the secondaries for the 13 DO schools I applied to (PCOM, NYITCOM, KCOM, KCU, ACOM, Western CA and Oregon, PNW, DMU, Touro CA and NV, VCOM, RVUCOM)
Are any of these schools research-loving and unlikely to consider my research-less app? From your experiences, are any of these schools simply not worth the $100+ secondary fee with my stats/ECs?
