Hi everyone!
I'm having some trouble coming up with more schools to apply to. I want to apply to at least ~30, given my less than competitive stats.
cGPA ~3.4something
sGPA ~3.4something
MCAT 33 (12/10/11)
CA resident, went to UCSD for undergrad
GPA (strong upward trend, with some informal post-bacc classes, all of which were A's)
shadowing: 45+ hours
volunteer (medical and non-medical): 200+ hours
clinical research: +++++ hours
ER scribe: ++++++ hours
MCAT test prep instructor: +++++++ hours
Overall, the weakest part of my application IMO is my GPA.
So far, I've applied to 20 schools:
Albany
Albert Einstein
Case Western
Creighton
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Georgetown
Loma Linda
Loyola University
Medical College of Wisconsin
New York Medical College
Oakland Univ. William Beaumont
Quinnipiac University
Rosalind Franklin
Tulane
U of AZ Phoenix
U of AZ Tucson
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC Riverside
I'm well aware that some of these are reach schools, such as Case Western and Loma Linda, among others.. but I thought I'd apply to some reach schools that really interested me.
I did receive FAP, and I have been saving a lot of money for this application cycle (my first time applying), so money isn't too much of an issue. ~30-35 schools is doable for me.
I'd love any input on any other schools I have a decent shot at!
Thank you!!
