[Hopeful2021]

Hi everyone,

It is my first time posting on this forum. I just finished my fourth year at a Canadian university and thinking of applying to the following schools in the states. I will really appreciate it if you guys could give me some insight on my selected schools based on my stats.

MCAT: 128/127/127/128 (Overall 83rd Percentile)

ECs: Hospital volunteer, shadowed a physician, TA for two courses for two years, President and Vice-President of a cultural student club, Fundraiser, other jobs not related to medicine. (I don't have a lot, but I have been doing them for a long time)

For MD: Buy the MSAR.
Filter for the 57 schools that consider internationals.
Eliminate the mission based schools (#1,#2 and#4 on your list, for example).
Eliminate the schools that matriculated less than 3 internationals (S IL doesn't even consider internationals, for example and UCD matriculated none)
Apply to the remainder where the median MCAT is at or below around 31 (considering your gpa).

Come back and we'll be happy to edit.

Much better.
Loma Linda is a mission based school. If your primary goal is to serve Christ (and you will not drink or have sex outside of marriage), keep it.

Thank you, I guess I am down to 19 now. Do you know about DO schools? Or is there somewhere like MSAR for DO schools? Just trying to not spend too much if chances are low.
