I know I've posted a lot of these, but since I have my almost-final school list down (I want to take off some schools because of how much it costs), I wanted to know if you guys have some comments for me. Please be as brutal and honest as possible with this list, or if I should even apply at all. FYI, I got this school list from Faha and Goro here on SDN. I also used Wedgedawg's applicant rating system and the MSAR to help out with which schools to choose.
I unfortunately scored horribly worse than expected on my MCAT: 503 (128/123/127/125), but I am Hispanic URM (NM resident). My sGPA is 3.86, and my cGPA is 3.87. I have ~1200 clinical hours (shadowing, hospital volunteering, and internships paid and unpaid). I have ~150 volunteering hours at a senior living center. I only have 50 hours of research volunteering (no formal research, just a data collector), but I have ~50 hours tutoring/working with the underserved school students here in NM.
Keep in mind that yes, I am obviously still applying to DO (about 10 schools) because of my MCAT, but this is my MD school list:
