Hi All!
Trying to cast a wide net, and made this list based off Admit and MSI list generators. It's pretty even split of reach, target, and baseline according to the machines, and I included all the CA in-state that I wanted (native resident and undergrad) as well as UNC (NC state voter/ attended Wake Forest). Would like to cap it at 25 +/- 2. Debating Adding Georgetown/ Harvard to the list, and wondering if I should be more selective with top Ivies and only put like 3 instead of almost all of them... realistic vs idealistic. Debating removing NYU as well, but idk. Better to try and miss than wonder? Thanks!
Other info:
D1 athlete
1 Nationally recognized award and 1 International award (athletics/ volunteering work)
1000+ hrs research over twodisciplines and two universities (expecting pubs, no current pubs)
10 conference presentations
300+ hrs clinical work (paid, therapist)
100+ shadow hours (underserved population)
Fully funded undergraduate and masters (athletic and academic scholarship)
800+ volunteer (non clinical, government/ advocacy work)
600+ hours of other paid work (Live-in nanny, university tutor, etc.)
(Not sure what else to put without getting more personal/ specific)

Welcome to the forums.

What are you pursuing your master's in?

Break down your experiences. We need your descriptions and specific hours per experience.

When you say you are a California resident, where did you grow up? UC medical schools can be very regionalistic and favor those who spent a significant time in childhood in their region.

What non-clinical experiences did you do immersed in underserved communities and away from campus?
 
Thank you for the tips! I'll edit the original post to add some more details.

My masters was in Project Management in North Carolina, a deviation from my undergraduate work but I discuss how it was actually applicable to my concurrent laboratory experiences.

Grew up near UC Davis and UCSF, I also include UCLA and UCSD but I don't include UCR since I have no connection to the inland empire.
