Hey guys I need help with my school list!

I'm a biochem major so my gpa is a little low. My first attempt MCAT was 503 (125,127,126,125) and my retake was 510 (128,128,128,126). I'm a FL resident, so I plan on applying to all FL schools, but want some help with my OOS list. I'm not opposed to DO. Here's some additional info:

  • Been doing research for about 2.5 years now, will probably continue through my gap year. I presented a poster for my own project at my undergraduate symposium. May be second author on a paper, but will probably take a while for that to get out because science is slow.
  • Volunteering (clinical): I'm an EMT on campus (~300 hours) and through EMT school I had to do 120 hours of clinical rotations on an ambulance, in the ER, and in labor and delivery
  • Physician shadowing: 25 hours primary care
  • Non-clinical volunteering: Started my own club on campus to raise awareness for an autoimmune disease (~50 documented hours but much more behind the scenes), Habitat for Humanity (I'm in an E-board position) (~225 hours)
  • Extracurricular activities: Besides those above I'm also in a Steel Drum group and the Video Production Committee at our movie theatre
  • Employment history: Once I graduate in May I will be working as an EMT in the hospital. Also I applied to a public health disparity summer program in California so if I get that.

I suggest the following. Invest in MSAT are delete schools where your sGPA is < their 10th %iles.
Temple
Jefferson
EVMS
Tulane
NYMC
Drexel
Wayne State (maybe)
U Toledo
Seton Hall
Rosy Franklin
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
Loyola
WVU
VCU
U VM
Rush
MCW
SLU
Creighton
Albany
Oakland-B
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Netter
Gtown
GWU
ALL FL schools
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me.
