cGPA 3.89, sGPA 3.99, MCAT 35

[sylvi]

Hi guys,

Having trouble narrowing down schools and would love some suggestions. My info -

3.89 cGPA
3.99 sGPA
35 MCAT (11 on both sciences, 13 on VR)
non-trad
applying as NYS resident
3 years paid work in research at a top hospital (no posters/pubs - though may have a chance to get involved on one this year which would be a nice update for schools)
>300 hrs clinical volunteering
~40 hrs shadowing
handful of other shorter-term EC's (non-clinical community service, music)

I prefer cities (have lived in Boston & NYC), though a really small city would be fine with me if I loved the school. Would also like to apply to some California schools - obviously always a HUGE long shot from OOS, but I would like to at least give it a shot. Only glaring drawback on my app is more W's than I'd like, though I'm very comfortable explaining the situation from the period where I got them and at this point they were about 5 years ago.

Open to any suggestions at this point! Thanks guys!!!

Hmmm...BU, Tufts, Harvard, Mt. Sinai, NYU, Cornell, Columbia, UCLA, USC, U Chicago, Northwestern, Einstein, SUNYs, Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Emory, Case Western/CCLCM, Albany, NYMC...It's really just what schools you like, because I think you have a decent shot anywhere!
