Medical Am I competitive for my top school choices?

[Goro]

Hi!
Wondering if based on my stats, if i am competitive enough for some of my, what i consider, reach schools?

cGPA: 3.86 sGPA:8.32 MCAT: 510. 2 year gap year. First year as a scribe in ED and currently will be working for the next year as a medical assistant at a dermatology office. Lots of extra curriculars in undergrad and won a Scholar award for my college upon graduation.
Schools include: Tufts, Emory, Wake Forest, Tulane and Stony Brook

Emory will be a donation. Ditto SUNY-SB IF you're not a NYer. You're OK for Tufts and Wake

I am NY resident. What about Tulane?

Fine for them

With a 8.32 GPA you could get in anywhere!

I think you should make a list of 20 schools and post it here. You have the stats to get into an MD school, but I'd love to see a list of proposed schools to apply to so we can see your location preferences and critique it rather than coming up with it for you.

I suggest the following:
ALL SUNYs
Rochester (maybe)
U ILL (maybe)
Emory
U CO
Tufts
Pitt (maybe)
Nova MD
U WI
U VM
Miami
George Washington
Georgetown
SLU
Albany
Rush
Rosy Franklin
NYMC
MCW
VCU
EVMS
Wayne State
Wake Forest
Netter
Jefferson
Temple
Drexel
Creighton
Tulane
Loyola
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Oakland-B
Seton Hall
TCU/UNT
Your state school.
Any DO program. I can't recommend Nova, Wm Carey, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CUHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites. UIW refuses to post their Boards scores, which is fishy.

It would be better if you had used the WAMC template. I don't have a sense of your length of experience from your description.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

What is that ? I can write one up. Or just give you a better description.

I'm not at my computer right now. Go to the Premed forums, see the sticky topic on WAMC, then seek the template. Or you could search for premed WAMC template if the search engine works.
