You must look at the list of MSTPs and large fully funded MD/PhD programs, and apply to 5 programs that have benchmarks below yours, 5-10 programs with similar benchmarks, and 5-10 dream programs. Your list is primarily the latter with a few at similar...
You absolutely need to apply to schools with lower benchmarks (in addition to your already listed ones of course).
Agree with above poster. I applied with similar stats and did well, but you should add in more low tier/“safety” programs like OHSU, Emory, etc to cover your bases.
This is such a helpful perspective, thank you! It feels like developing a cohesive application is a lot like branding a business product. Is your unique "brand" something that you try to express through your personal statement, or just in how you word your activities and research?I would definitely recommend giving a lot of thought to some of the intangibles of your application as you gear up for your cycle. You have awesome stats, research, and experiences, so to set yourself apart, start thinking about how you can weave these experiences together into a cohesive story (e.g. how did one experience inspire you to pursue another, what are some uniting themes of the activities and research you have engaged in, etc). Crafting an application that is more than the sum of its parts is a great way to help you stand out from other applicants with similarly excellent backgrounds.
Thanks for the tip! UCSF is definitely one of my dream schools (fingers crossed!).UCSF has a really great social justice focus! They are the most diverse medical school in the country and their clinical opportunities (ex: San Francisco General) give you the chance to really immerse yourself in working with underserved populations.
