Hey guys,
I am a long time lurker on this site and I really need help with a school list. I have FAP and I have only applied to 14 schools so far but I really want to add about 10 more.

Stats
3.8 Overall GPA
3.75 sGPA
37 (14-11-12)

Extracurriculars
1.5 years in a research lab (no pubs)
2 years in a clinical research internship in an emergency room( no pubs)
250 hours as a clinical care extender
About 50 hours shadowing 3 different specialties
100 hours as a church volunteer (helping poor)
On a Latin dance team
Tutor for kids in middle school
And thousands of hours in work experience

I am a CA resident and a Mexican American. (speak spanish)

My school list ATM
UCI

UCD
UCR

I agree with Goro's list. You have a very strong app and your Spanish speaking ability as well as Mexican heritage is a huge plus.
