Hi all!
I was hoping for some enlightenment on my schools list for both MD and DO applications this cycle.
Here are my stats
3.65 sGPA and 3.69 cGPA
31 MCAT 10/10/11
I am a non trad 29.
BS in Psychology
BA in Spanish
I have worked part time as a CNA for 2 years getting clinical work 800+ hours
Worked part time for 2 years as a High School Tutor. 800+ hours
Volunteered for 3 years at a local children's hospital for 300+ hours
Volunteered as a Boy Scout Leader for 100+ hours
Volunteered with the IRC (refugee rescue) as an ESL tutor. 40 hours
Shadowed DO and MD doctors for 30 hours
Research Assistant for a Psychology Professor at University of Utah for 1.5 years 80 hours.
I was a Spanish/English interpreter for the same Children's Hospital for a year and a half.
(This is where I feel I got my shadowing experience because I interpreted for 30+ doctors in different settings while I was there. This is what peaked my interest in Medicine.)
I was a Primary instructor for my church for 2 years
I worked as a warehouse manager for 3 years full time while taking part time pre req classes during one of those years. (this was my field of work before I switched to pre med.)
Served an LDS mission 2003 to 2005 in Chile and am fluent in Spanish.
Help on my schools list? Which should I drop and which should I add?

Albany Medical College
David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth (Reach?)
