Previously posted about my mcat, but now im concerned about ECs

Basically, CA applicant applying to MD and DO, OOS, instate.

3.80 cGpa, 3.79sGpa 509 MCAT.
200hrs hospital volunteering
~70hrs underserved clinical volunteering
130hrs shadowing
2 years research with 1 publication
Working as MA in primary care, previously in radiology

My concern is that non clinical is about 40hrs of afterschool tutoring which is mixed in with a clinical experience organization.


Does my low hours of non-clinical break my apps? Was finalising my apps and i just realized thats kind of a weak point.

You are fine for any DO schools so apply to at least 6 schools. For MD I suggest these schools:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Albany
New York Medical College
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
George Washington
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
West Virginia
NOVA MD
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Loma Linda
California University (new school)
Kaiser (when it opens)
UC Davis
UC Irvine
