3.35 sGPA 3.50 cGPA MCAT 37 Q CA Reapplicant - school list

[Nemethyst]

So, its coming down to the wire, my AMCAS just verified and I need to add my schools.

I have heavy volunteering exp (1.5+ years), along with work experience (not in healthcare), tutoring, and no research.

I have a lot of schools on my list and need to trim them to a more manageable size. Any that focus too much on research or ones that I wouldn't have a chance with?

Are you CA resident? URM/black? (Meharry, etc).

Need more info...list looks pretty good, though...state of residency might help you to prune it, though...

 

[Nemethyst]

Yea I am a CA resident. I didn't think it would be that much of a negative, but now i guess it is.

List looks good to me, too You might want to check how Marshall regards OOSers -- I can't quite remember if they favor WV residents.

Anyway, up to you. Good luck!

U Chicago is research oriented. Consider removing it.

Applied with very similar stats to yours--

schools I would strongly consider adding: Virginia Commonwealth, Wake Forest, Tufts, Univ of Cincinnati, & Case Western.

schools I would strongly consider dropping: South Carolina, Rush, Penn State, Marshall, Michigan state, the traditionally black schools (unless you're black...)

best of luck!
