Hey everyone I'm another person in need of help with a school list!



First a little background from me:

Asian American residing in California
Graduated December 2014 from UC Davis as a Psychology major
cGPA: 3.35
sGPA: 3.17
MCAT: 511



My last quarter at Davis really dropped my GPA, but it was due to family and personal issues if that matters. This past year I took Anatomy and Physiology series and obtained an A in both, but since it was only 1 class, I'm not even sure if that counts as a rising trend.



Moving on to experience:



1.5 years as a Research Assistant in the Markers of Autism Risk in Babies, Learning Early Signs (MARBLES) Study at UC Davis (about 600 hours)

1 years as a Research Assistant in the Social Neuroscience and Affective Processing (SNAP) lab at UC Davis (about 400 hours)

1.5 years I volunteered as a counseling assistant at Woodland Prairie Elementary School where I worked with under privileged and trouble children (about 600 hours)

2+ years as a medical scribe working at a Tier II trauma, stroke and cardiac center emergency department (about 2200 hours so far) and currently working here still

Anatomy, Physiology and Organic Chemistry Tutor



LORs:

2 science professors

2 DO

1 MD



So here is my list thus far:

KYCOM
WVSOM
LMU-DCOM
TUNCOM
TUCOM
VCOM
UNECOM
KCOM
RVUCOM
AZCOM
Western U-COMP
LECOM
ARCOM
ACOM
BCOM
UIWSOM
PCOM
MUCOM
RVU-UT
NOVA
LECOM-B
PacNW
Western-OR
WM Carey

(Edited list after Goro's recommendations)



If there's any schools you think I should take out or add please let me know! Thank you so much for reading this over. Best of luck to everyone out there!

Take out UW - the only reason they have a high OOS% is because they have an agreement with local states that don't have medical schools: Wyoming, Alaska, Idaho, Montana. They realistically only have a couple of true OOS students out of a class of 150+.

I would questions Northstate since they don't do federal loans, yet.

You're still above the 10th percentile for UA in terms of GPA, but public schools only take OOS students that have much higher stats than their average, unless you're exceptional in terms of ECs.

Of your list, remove:


TUCOM
UNECOM
KCOM
AZCOM



The sGPA is lethal for all MD schools. Save your money and take your dad to dinner on Father's Day.

FYI, U WA takes people from the WWAMI states, and CN'u refused to allow their students to become eligible for Federal loans. U AZ will want people to from OOS to be > avg. And Meherry????? With all the lab research you've done, have you at least looked at their website and mission???




I referenced the MSAR as well as matriculation data from AACOM in 2015 to weed out the >50% instate preference, so I tried to make my list as concise, and for the most part, realistic as possible.

Ah yeah I didn't know that thank you! I will most definitely be taking out the MD schools then.

All MD schools will be removed then, thank you so much for the reply and addition/removal suggestions Goro! I'll admit I did not look at Meharry's website very thoroughly, I just based this on MSAR and the aacom's public data. I most definitely should I done more research before compiling the list. Also in regards to AZCOM, I mainly included that school because I made their cut off for grade replacement with the 511 MCAT score, so my GPA will have a little boost, although not significant. Every little bit helps I suppose.
