Chances and help with school list?

I was wondering about the best way to go about compiling a list of schools to apply to? Obviously I plan on applying to my state school, but other than that, I just want to apply broadly enough to guarantee myself a couple acceptances.


What do you guys think my chances are? Is there anything I should be doing to improve my application?

With only 30 shadowing hours you may be ruled out from many schools. Many require 50-150 nowadays

Get in more shadowing hours before you apply. It would be a SHAME for that to be what causes you not to get interviews. You have fantastic stats otherwise.

If I get it up to 50 hours, would that be solid? My state school doesn't have any requirement..

Why do the bare minimum? Get at least 100, though be aware of schools like VCU that want to see 150

Does VCU really require 150? I have 110 and submitted already. I thought they require 100..

They recommend 150
