So I'm applying this coming cycle and I would to get some advice on which schools are within reasonable range for my stats.
I have a 3.3 cgpa, 3.3 sgpa, 28 MCAT (11ps, v6, 11bs; retaking this June). Cali resident. 500 hours< volunteer hours, 100 hours<shadowing experience, 2 different research experiences, premed club leadership experience.

Can anyone give me some suggestions regarding the school list?
 
1.) Your state schools (1-2 schools)
2.) Private schools (take out the ones where you don't like the area, cost, facilities)
3.) Public school (if you can stand the higher tuition and have great grades or specifically match what the school wants).

I recommend 12-15 schools.

Go through the schools and see what you like.

Compile a full list and then we can judge.
