Hello all,

I was looking for some help with my school list.
cGPA: ~3.8
sGPA: ~3.75
MCAT: 508, evenly distributed
Residency: Florida
Ethnicity/Race: Black & Hispanic
Clinical Experience: ~300 hours of hospital volunteering, a medical mission
Research: ~500 hours, 1 poster and 1 panel presentation
Shadowing: ~40 hours with a pulmonologist.
Non-clinical volunteering: ~150 hours volunteering as a tutor for at-risk kids, served as a mentor for a high school student transitioning to college, spent some time in a nursing home.
Work: Worked part-time as a server
Extracurriculars: Served on the e-board for a science club that linked students with faculty mentors for research. Currently serve on the board of directors for a small nonprofit that establishes medical missions. I'm a member of a pre-med club at my institution, as well.

I also hope to do City Year this upcoming school year. But, I doubt that will come into play considering I plan to apply this cycle.

My school list includes all of Florida's MD schools as well as:
Albany
Rosalind Frankline
Drexel
Quinnipiac
Howard
Indiana University
Temple
NYMC
University of Arizona
UC Davis
University of Colorado
University of Illinois
University of Washington

Should I revise this list? Apply more broadly? Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.
 
Washington mainly accepts its own residents and those from surrounding states where they have contracted to take applicants from those states. You could add Meharry and Morehouse. You should do well with your Florida schools and expect several interviews from your list.
