Hey guys!. I graduated from a Top Ten public school two years ago and I was wondering if you guys could chance me for the 2015 application cycle for a couple MD med-schools. Thanks in advance!
Major: Double major in Biophysics and Philosophy; minor in Linguistics - I have Departmental Honors in Biophysics
MCAT - 42 (15P, 13B, 14V); took it once
cGPA - 3.98 (sGPA 4.0)
Research Experience - was a coauthor on a published neuroscience paper; also published a couple other biophysics-related papers; did summer research abroad at the University of Tokyo (mentioned in a paper);
Ethnicity: Asian American (second-generation) from Southern California; my parents went to university in the States
I'm fluent in Spanish, Japanese, and Albanian (both dialects); I technically "know" French, Italian, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese but don't have much experience speaking it. I also know a smattering of Modern Greek.
Work Experience -
EMT-B certification; I've worked about 650 hours on call
Peace Corps; volunteer in Albania for two years (Health Extension Specialist)
XCs -
Captain of a Badminton Intramural Team
President of Biking Club
Resident Advisor (two years)
Chemistry TA at my local high school (that I went to) for two years
Helped conduct a psychological survey on high school students
Peer Tutor throughout high school and college
I was wondering if you guys could chance me for a couple skills, or suggest any schools you recommend I apply to!

#9 UPenn
#10 Emory
#11 UCI
#12 UCRiverside
#13 UCSD

I really like schools that offer a solid reputation, but are good "bang for their buck". I'd personally prefer schools that are urban environments, but that's not a biggie.
Thanks again!
