512, 3.6, strong research

[27mm]

I would appreciate any help making a bigger school list.

MCAT: 512
GPA: 3.6 (upward trend)

- 200 hours clinical volunteering
- 300 hours non-clinical volunteering
- 100 hours shadowing
- 3 yrs research mostly in one lab (1 first-author paper; 4 posters; 6 awards)
- 1 yr tutoring (influenced the system a little)
- 1 yr employment in biotech startup
- 1 semester tech internship
- several club involvements but no leadership roles

Since I am in Missouri, I am currently looking at:
- WashU
- SLU
- UM Columbia
- UM Kansas City
- Rush Chicago
- Rosalind Franklin Chicago
- Loyola Chicago
- U Illinois

I want to add ~10 schools to the list and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Remove Washington University as it is a far reach. Consider adding these schools:
Creighton
Medical College Wisconsin
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Tulane
NOVA MD
Vermont
Quinnipiac
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
George Washington

Thank you. I am also considering applying to some MD/PhD programs. Would you or anyone else recommend different schools?

Here is a more realistic list, based upon geographic preferences.
U Toledo
Rush
Rosy Franklin
Wayne State
MCW
Oakland-B
Western MI
Seton Hall
U MO
Loyola
U IA
Tulane
U VM
U AR (maybe)

Hofstra
Pitt
Miami
St. Louis
Albany
Albert Einstein
Rochester
NYMC
VCU
EVMS
Wake Forest
Jefferson
Temple
Tufts
Drexel
Creighton
George Washington
Georgetown
Emory
Dartmouth
Netter
Nova MD
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Any DO program. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.
Start list with KCOM, KCU, CCOM, DMU, both AR schools, ACOM, MUCOM

My understanding of MD/PhD programs is that one has to be a superstar.

Very helpful; thank you.

Service hours look a bit scant for Rush.

Hmmm. I feel that way now that I researched it more. I will probably apply just for whatever extra chance it gives me of ending up in Chicago.
