Hi guys, I’m looking for some help with the list of schools I’m applying to this cycle and would appreciate any ideas/criticism.


Info:

cGPA: 3.86, sGPA: 3.9

MCAT Score: 511 (129/126/129/127) 86th percentile

~100 hours shadowing

~100 hours non-clinical volunteering

200+ Hours of research in two different labs

Honors college program

Notes:

Although my clinical experience at the moment is low I just got accepted into a yearlong clinical internship for senior year that will add ~100 more hours

Late committee letter won’t be submitted until early September

Northeast schools preferred in order to stay close to family, but I will go further If I have to

Out-of state:

Rutgers RWJ

I'm also thinking about the damage my September committee letter is going to do to my application. If the letter puts me at a strong enough disadvantage I was wondering if I should just rescind my current application and wait until next cycle.

Very similar to the situation I was in. I didn't get my comittee letter until September 15th. I also had a 511 MCAT, and 4.0 GPA. I would say that September is not too late, but I know how it feels to have to wait to get that letter. For what it's worth, I had a successful cycle and looks like you will!

You could add Vermont, Albany, Rochester, Quinnipiac, Penn State, GW, Georgetown, Eastern Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth. Rutgers, NJMS and Maryland are state public schools that accept few non residents with your MCAT.

Thanks guys! I'll add those schools to my list. I'll report back with what is hopefully a successful cycle
