I really appreciate the feedback. Would you recommend I apply to all of these schools, or 20-30 of them? Also, would you say my ECs might pull me down for the top schools you listed?

I recommend applying to 20-30 schools, 35 tops. You'll go crazy writing 40 apps.

It's your job to cull the herd.

I think you should be OK. In the mean do whatever you can to bulk up the clinical exposure and/or the service to others less fortunate than yourself. There are still venues even in the age of COVID

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Your metrics should be high enough that in-states will want to find a way to keep you, and any schools outside of your state will definitely give you attention. Focus on a quality application and not quantity of them, so I would go on the lower end between 20-30 schools. Do proper networking to make sure there's someone at the schools near the top of your list looking for you.

 

[LeaveNoTrace]

Goro’s advice is spot on.

You should receive several interviews from your list. Add Michigan State and Western Michigan.

 

[Banco]

Your list is good as long as you add all of your in-state schools. Don't make the mistake of excluding them.
