Duke
UVA
Georgetown
Case Western

Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
Rochester
Hofstra

Mount Sinai
NYU
Columbia
Boston University
Dartmouth
Brown
USC Keck

I forgot to include that I have some shadowing with a psychiatrist and a general practitioner, but I'll stack up on those hours. Is there anything else that you think is missing from my application? I am afraid I sound like a stereotypical pre-med with no unique qualities.Eight hours of physician shadowing would check the box; it's bare bones, but it'd be very good to have that box checked.

Thanks for the feedback! I currently have about 20-25 hours of shadowing, but I can get more hours very soon. What do you think I should do to enhance my extracurricular to make it impressive?Your ECs are actually decent. The complete absence of shadowing was the only thing that gave me pause. How much shadowing do you have now? If it's like 30 hours, more would be nice but you might be OK as you are. Even if it's 8 hours, that is a good deal better than nothing. There's a couple break points here: having too little of something like clinical experience is lethal. Checking the box checks the box. Having 500+ hours of volunteering looks good. You need to have all the boxes checked to have a shot, and 10-20 hours of shadowing does that.
Properly self-reflect on the meaningfulness of the experiences to your motivation to pursue medicine.Thanks for the feedback! I currently have about 20-25 hours of shadowing, but I can get more hours very soon. What do you think I should do to enhance my extracurricular to make it impressive?
