Hey all, I've been fortunate to get through 3 years with a good GPA and MCAT. My question is where could I get a scholarship with these stats? I know I have a great shot at schools not in the top 20 or so, but what about top 20 schools: specifically Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Perelman, Hopkins, UCLA, UCSF.
A bit about me:
MCAT: 131 on 3 sections, 127 on Bio (I'm a bit worried that the Relatively low bio score will worry people since I'm a bio major. But also I still have most of my upper-level classes to take senior year)
GPA: 3.97 cGPA and sGPA.
EC:
Heavily involved on campus, 3 jobs, volunteering, leadership positions. I can't get any aid for needs based (and I assume this will continue), but I work 30+ hours a week.
I have really good shadowing and volunteering experiences, study abroad, and minimal Spanish ability.
I have good research experience, but my professor that I'm working with has been gone 4 weeks this summer and so I likely will not have any publications, or at least not till late fall.
Any input is greatly appreciated. I promise I'm not trolling anyone. I don't qualify for any fee waivers and $120 per school to apply to is a huge strain on my resources, so I'm trying to be strategic.
Thanks everyone!
