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.
