Hi y'all. Non-trad CA resident here wondering if I could get some feedback on my school list. I don't have a shot at MD/PhD programs but I'm still leaning towards research oriented schools. I'm also trying to beef up my ECs over the next few months so any advice on that would also be appreciated.
Graduated in 2013 from a mid-tier UC with 3.55 cGPA/3.64 sGPA.
MCAT: 35 (9VR, 12PS, 14BS)
Research experience:
currently working as an RA at biotech start-up (most meaningful)
summer internship at big pharma company
2 years working in a lab on campus in undergrad (poster presentation)
Volunteer experience:
talk line grief counselor 6hr/wk (most meaningful)
volunteered at DV shelter through community service honor society in college
Clinical exposure:
currently shadowing a doctor, looking into other specialties
volunteered at university med center: 80hr
planning on working at a hospice starting next spring
School list:
**applying to all schools in CA just because I'm a resident and figured I might as well. Still researching DO schools.

UCSD
USC
UC Davis
UC Riverside
Virginia Tech
Meharry
Quinnipiac
