gpa 3.8+ and mcat 35+ but 8VR

[beckmancoulter]

Hello, everyone. I'm trying to get my list ready but I'm sure it needs some tweaking. I don't mind applying to a ton of schools so I'm not necessarily looking to trim down the list-just want to make it more fitting to me.
I have lots of research, decent volunteering and shadowing, no leadership (unless tutoring counts).
My 8VR is pretty bad and I've looked at the bottom tenth for most schools and it's usually a 9-not sure what that means for me.
Please advise on what schools to add(preferably ones w/o secondary) or drop.
Thanks!

I wouldn't get so caught with a 8 VR. A 35 and 3.8 makes you competitive just about anywhere. Assuming you've covered all your bases in the application, you will be fine.

I would add some higher ranked/reach schools. I didn't like rosalind at all, so I would drop that one. Good luck.
