Check my school list please?

[AZFutureDoc]

Hey guys not sure if this belongs here but this is my list of schools I am applying to. I have a 3.5 sci, 3.5 cum but with an upward trend, expect a high 30's mcat score, have an excellent personal statement and a very well rounded list of EC's with a lot of clinical work but a few hobbies as well. I feel that my gpa is a little low, hence the pretty long list of schools. I have most of the "easiest" schools as well as quite a few reaches. Thanks for the input mates.

Assuming your MCAT is 34+ then your list of schools is quite viable. Except have you done any research work and/or get publications? That may be an important factor in most of the top-tier schools, since the MSAR usually states # of accepted applicants having research experience (>90%).

Overall good luck in the application process and I hope you get in!

yes I have mathematical cancer research, ecology research done in Ecuador last sum and I am currently working with Columbia med on an AIDS research project. No publications, but a lot of experience.

And thanks for the input!

Good list so far...I think you will do well. Hope for the best. You might be surprised (in a good way).

Thanks for the support. It's real easy to get negative when filling out your amcas and thinking about everything you COULD have done differently.

Later!
