I think you can mention that you are an immigrant and recently got a green card. Consequently, I wouldn't say that getting permanent residency is an "experience." To me, the circumstances that made your family move would fit better.
This is where things depend on when you got US permanent residency status.
I'm presuming a lot of your shadowing is in Canada and not in the US, right? What is the split for your activities (Canada-based vs. US-based)? Any activities outside the US or Canada?

Great thanks for the advice. Any specific reason why? First two seem like far reaches haha
Washington University interviews a high percentage of high stat applicants.
Thank you! Thoughts about the rest of the list? I'm trying to cut down on schools
@mapleleaf03 I know you're new to SDN, keep making comments or asking questions in one thread for best advice
You could remove Central Florida since they admit few non residents.
