Hi everyone,

I am just finishing my finalized school list. I kept looking for schools in my range and kept adding and I ended up with 26 which may be a little too many. I would be grateful if someone could look over my list and tell me what they think and of there are some schools I can take out for various reasons.

I have 150 hours with a clinical internship with direct patient contact.

Multiple tutoring and education jobs for my school

Colorado prefers nontrads and way more clinical experience than you report. I don't see mention of dedicated service to those in need that Georgetown seems to find appealing. Review the missions and selection criteria of the Florida schools on your list and be sure you fulfill them. As you have no research, you might also consider removing some of the research-oriented schools on your list, including VTech and probably UVa.
