Hi guys, I was just wondering what others think about my chance at some of these medical schools.

MCAT: 516
GPA: 3.83 (3.88 sGPA)
WARS: 82-85

Lots of research (750 hours) and publishments in abstracts for major journals
Shadowing: 85 hours
Clinical Volunteer: Have been volunteering at a hospital for the last 2 years (180 hours)


I have a few more activities but long story short here are my hours for:
Non clinical: 700
Clinical: 300 hours
Research: 750 hours

Wake is super low yield so throw that in that list.

Consider Wayne, U Iowa, UVM as possible additions (seem like decent fit if you are cool with those places)
