Hey guys, I'm wondering what you guys think of my school list. I'm trying to finish it up before I apply and this is what I have so far.
I'm a Junior, graduating in 3 years so this semester is my last. Illinois Resident, white male, EO-2 socioeconomic status that I'll include in the app. I qualified for FAP so I can apply to 15 schools for free.
Cumulative GPA: 3.93
Science GPA: 3.90
MCAT Score: took only once, got a 38
Research
1 year neuropsychology: 6 hrs/wk
1 year biology curriculum research with professor, not a wet lab, 6 hrs/wk, no pubs/posters
Volunteering (clinical): 1.5 years at hospital ED, 3 hrs/wk
Physician shadowing
ENT surgery/30 hrs
Transplant surgery/80 hrs
Family medicine/10 hrs
Extracurricular activities
Tutoring coordinator for a large honors society, worked with disadvantaged elementary kids and college tutors
Mentor role on board of same honors society the following year
Served on committee in a student org that coordinates musical shows for students on campus, more of a thing done just for fun
Employment
3 years education policy research, ~10 hrs/wk
I'm going to work somewhere the year that I apply, what would have been my senior year
So far my list of school I'm planning to apply to is:
Reach
Northwestern
University of Chicago
Washington University in St. Louis
University of Pennsylvania
Harvard
Stanford
Non-reach
UIC
Loyola
Rush
Rosalind Franklin
Mayo
Vanderbilt
NYU
Saint Louis University
Medical College of Wisconsin
Some others I'm thinking of adding
New York Medical College
Jefferson
Temple
Let me know what you guys think!
