Hey everyone!
I'm looking for some advice on my med school list. I'm a Neuroscience major and CA resident.
ECs:
Research and senior honors thesis in visual neuroscience lab
Clinical volunteering- around 200 hours
Shadowing- 20 hours
International + domestic community service experiences
President of a community service club
Resident Assistant

Here's my list so far:
GWU
Commonwealth (Pennsylvania)
Drexel
NYMC
Albany
Hofstra
Rush
Temple
UC Riverside
Rosalind Franklin
Georgetown
Jefferson
UC Irvine
UC Davis
Penn State
SUNY Stony Brook
SUNY Downstate (I know the SUNYs are a little strict about OOS applicants, but I actually grew up in and went to college in New York. My mom moved to California while I was in college. I feel like I have stronger ties to New York than California, anyone know what these schools would think about that?)
UCSD
UCSF
University of Rochester

Just looking for some advice on my med school list, and whether or not I should retake the MCAT?
Thanks so much!

Do NOT retake MCAT; there's no guarantee you'll do better, and you're more likley to do the same or worse.
Your score is fine for the schools I'm picking below.

GWU
Commonwealth (Pennsylvania)
Drexel
NYMC
Albany
Hofstra
