Rush and Loyola expect more clinical experience than you have. You could add these schools:
Boston University
Brown
Hofstra
Einstein
Ohio State
Cincinnati
USF Morsani
Miami
Duke
Kaiser

Your clinical exposure hours are barely meeting minimum expectations (which would include some of your future opportunities), but you should get a little attention with your GPA/MCAT metrics.

Is there a hard cut off for clinical exp for Rush/Loyola? As service is a strongish point for me, and I am In State, I figured these may help land me an interview.
Thanks for the school suggestions. I definitely skipped over these. Reviewing them on MSAR, they seem like they could be in my wheelhouse.

Yes, seems like that will hold me back. As an admissions advisor do you have any recommendations around framing up the clinical experience I do have, or any specific school suggestions based on how my app is shaping up?

Rush only interviews 6% of Illinois applicants and these are probably those with a large number of hours both clinical and non clinical. Loyola interviews 9% of Illinois applicants.
