Hey guys so I have an okay chance at getting into a school but I want to have some opinions on my list. I have a 128/129/127/130 (514) MCAT, I am a Florida resident, and by the time I apply I will have
-Graduated with Bio & Chem double major
- between 800-1000 hours of being an ER scribe.
- I have been part of 2 research labs with a possible co-author in a journal by the time I apply.
- Part of the leadership in a volunteering club
- ~300 hours of volunteering with elderly individuals and low-income patients
- 80 hours of shadowing a surgeon
- Tutored & Mentored foster children of all ages in my community for nearly a year
What I am unsure of is how to apply. I seem to lie in the 75th+ percentile for low tier schools, 50th for mid-tier, and about ~25th for upper tier schools. These are my choice so far:
-Yale
-Cornell
-Emory
-Georgetown
-U of Miami
-Thomas Jefferson
-Tufts
-USC
-SUNY
-UF
-FIU
-UCF
-Drexel
-George Washington
-New York Medical College
-Loyola
-FSU
Does anyone have any recommendations on where I should add or remove or replace? Should I even perhaps apply to DO schools? I really don't care for top-tier schools but I want to make sure I made it into the best school I could. (Yale and Cornell are my reach schools)
