Hey yall.

Just wanted some advice on if I should change my school list around. Seems a little top heavy to me right now but idk where else id want to go.

College: Ivy league college
State of residence: VA
Race / Ethnicity: URM
GPA: 3.76
MCAT: 520 (130, 130, 131, 129)

Research: 900 hours (500 clinical, 400 wetlab)
- No publications or posters or presentations or anything

Volunteering: 130 hours across two opportunities

Teaching: 300 hours, mostly as a TA in a couple bio courses

Shadowing: 150 hours, between two docs

Other extracurriculars: I've done a lot of dif clubs that all center around serving the underserved in medicine, and social barriers to healthcare. This is a topic I wrote a lot about on my secondaries so far.

My list so far:

Miami
Harvard
Penn
Brown
UVA
George washington
Geisel
Duke
Kaiser
Tufts
VCU
Vermont
Albert Einstein

Definitely prioritize your in-state options as they all should be in play based on your metrics. You don't go into any specific details about your EC's to make any further comment from me.
