Hi! I would really like advice on my school list but this is my first time posting here so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask. Please lmk if not. Mainly I am concerned it's too "top heavy" (I think admit.org considers some schools baseline for me but they're pretty high tier) and I am also worried about being a "cookie cutter" applicant. I do think I can articulate my stories and passion well in my writing and interviews. Any advice is appreciated!
Application:
-CA ORM F, 20 yo trad applicant, attend a UC
-Clinical: 1200 paid MA/scribe (1 year), 50 free clinic volunteering. Have gained a lot of close experience with physicians and patients that I think I can talk about well.
-Research: 1500 in a lab (2 years) with 3 posters, 1 pub in progress, 1 private pub (low impact). Have an independent project that I am very passionate about.
-Non-clinical volunteering: 200 with club, 150 at soup kitchen (great experiences here and very passionate about this)
-Leadership: 150 as a "TA"
-Shadowing: 50 in 2 specialties
-hobby: gym rat
-LORs from physician, lab PI, stem professor, and soup kitchen manager (since I don't have an LOR from a non-science professor I cut schools that require that like harvard/jhu/sinai)
