Looks like a good list. Keck may be a bit of a reach since their average MCAT is ~34. I'd consider adding a SUNY school or two (upstate and stony brook perhaps?)

Any publications for the research? This could be a big deciding factor. Your app looks really good though.
I think you would get in pretty easily to mid tier schools.

Unfortunately no...I did do an article presentation at a lab meeting though

That might take you out of any school that has a strong research initiative within their medical school or correlates tightly with graduate biomedical sciences. Unless you can really show you had an impact within that lab. But other than that your application looks great.
Thank you for your input!
I was wondering about my shot at Baylor or UTSW? Any medical student there or sdn regular adcom users wanna chime in?

My stats are almost identical to yours.
TMDSAS cGPA and sGPA of 3.68 and MCAT of 32 (12/10/10). I think we're good candidates for most schools in Texas, but both our MCAT and GPA are below UTSW and Baylor's averages, so I think we have a low shot at those. Our GPA might keep us out of schools like UTMB and UT-Houston, but I think we still have a shot at those.
Oh hey! I actually saw your thread earlier lol. Actually with UTMB, I am 2 points above average with my MCAT and about .1 below in GPA compared to the students from my school that got in UTMB so I think I have a good shot. UTH, Baylor, and UTSW averages are all above mine lol, but my premed advisor (who is awsome) told me I should have a shot since my ECs are pretty good? Who knows...haha

According to the MSAR, UTMB has a median of 32 (11/10/11) and a median GPA of 3.85. Don't listen to advisors by the way, they don't know anything. But don't worry, you'll have great success this upcoming cycle

Well I am talking about stats of the students from my school, not the stats nationwide. When it come to Texas schools, I look at the stats of the students from my school that got it. For out of state, I used the MSAR.
In regards to my advisor, I am a long-time lurker here at this forum and everything she advised match up really well to what is being said here. In fact, her name was mentioned a couple times here and those users said she is great also.
Anyway, I think we do have a good shot at most schools like you said so we will see how it turns out. Best of luck to you!

Why do u revive year old dead threads? Everyone should be asking that
Because it's exactly a year later - and they would have gotten into medical school by now.
If you go through the journey with someone (in which I did, vicariously through reading these posts) it's only natural for me to wonder if the student made it.

Understandable...but u could DM the person instead of reviving a necro thread
