Hello all,

I wanted to see what schools I should apply to. I graduated in 2016 with a degree Biology. My sGPA and cGPA was 4.0. My MCAT is a 504. I have been working as a teacher, therefore I do not have much time to study for the MCAT again as I typically put in about 50 hours a week. In terms of extracurricular activities, I was a TA for a couple of years.My clinical experience has been volunteering in at my local hospital and I have 200 hours. I have not done much non-clinical volunteering outside of mentoring kids at a community center ~50 . My research experience has been quite noteworthy, though. I am a first-author publication and have gone to a conference before. I believe that my letters of rec will be very strong, but I do lack a non-science faculty. I am also non URM. Thank you.

So far my school list is:
-state school
-Temple
-Oakland University
-Rosalind Franklin
-Quinnipac
-Toledo
-Tulane
-Minnesota
-University of Nevada- Reno (I satisfy the requirement to apply there)

NOVA MD
Seton Hall
George Washington
Georgetown
Drexel
Seton Hall
Penn State
New York Medical College
Creighton
Loyola
Medical College Wisconsin
Also apply to at least 6 DO schools.
