Great thanks! How high are my chances of being admitted to a T20 or T10 school?

High. Very high. You got this man!

High. Very high. You got this man!

Thank you! Anything you recommend I do now until the time apply? (Will be applying in 2 years)

Keep doing what you love, and turn it into a kick-ass narrative!

Getting admitted is 100% on you. But chances of IIs are high.

The hours and length listed include the activities includes my senior year as well.

While I think your chances are high, you need to list your completed hours. Projected hours wont help if you submitted your application... It may look like you are embellishing your activities. If you aren't submitting for another cycle (when you finish your Masters degree), then we are conjecturing.

When did you take your MCAT? Breakdown?

What does your organization do with underserved communities? Any cooperation or networking with MAPS, SNMA, etc.? Have you presented at SFN? Given your internships at other medical schools, I would expect you to have maintained your relationships with them. What recommendations did they give you on a list that was favorable to your neuroscience interests?

Clearly you have potential, but you also said you aren't applying this cycle (right?). Take this time to do some homework and network with the schools high on your list. Make them know you will be on the market and connect with mentors now.

Yes, I will not be applying this cycle but the cycle after next. I just listed my projected hours by time I apply. My organization focuses on restoring the community by offering underserved areas free service. There is also a fundraising project at the end of each semester that focuses on collecting clothes and toys for the less fortunate. This organization however has no ties to MAPS or SNMA as of now. I’m hoping to fulfill my plan in every category. Any recommendations on the best way to network with top medical schools? I’ve sent emails to there admissions committee but due to a high volume of emails they sent me an automated email. Thank you very much for the feedback though!

Would there be an yield protection I should worry about with these schools and my list?

Setting your sights high and I applaud you for it. However, we can give you a better idea in a few years when your ECs, GPA, and MCAT are solidified. Having a plan and projecting stuff is great but return when everything is set in stone. Keep up the good work!

I appreciate it! I’m an upcoming sophomore that’s a year younger than everyone so I’m hoping to matriculate right after I graduate. I understand planning is important so I set realistic, high achieving goals for myself! I will send updates regularly.

Not for a URM candidate

Your “ lower ranked (?)” state school will mean nada. That does seem to be your stated concern.
