50 hours is the only volunteering you have? Clinical and non clinical?

 

[fluffywas]

No I was in two service oriented clubs, 200-500 non-clinical volunteer hours. I know thats a big range, I'm not really sure yet how I will go about calculating it.

Thank you that's very helpful.

I know MSAR gives the GPA and MCAT stats for each schools but I don't always know how to interpret them since what I've been reading suggests that a lot of schools have biases that go beyond just the numbers. Which leads me to my question, why do you suggest a school like NYU with extremely high GPA and MCAT but not other schools with similar averages?

NYU is a reach and I usually include few reaches.
