Hi all! I just got my MCAT score and wanted to know what schools you all thought I should add to my application for this cycle! I've already got the following down:

EVMS
VCU
VT
UVA
(I'm a VA resident, explaining all the VA schools)

Brown
Tufts
George Washington
Howard
Drexel
Quinnipiac

My ECs are as follows:

90 hours of shadowing two doctors
40 hours of volunteering at a hospital for a summer
500-600 hours of research experience, split between two labs
600-700 hours of volunteer work with an on-campus group dedicated to mental health advocacy and offering a peer listening/counseling service. I've held multiple leadership positions within the group since I joined in my freshman year.

what do you think my chances are at the schools of I've listed? And any idea what schools I should add? Mostly looking to stay on the east coast, but am open to any suggestions!!!

Thanks everyone

P.S. I go to a top 20 undergrad if that makes a difference!

If you are authentically African American, you are a candidate for all of your state schools and any private school you would care to apply to.
