Med school list

🔮 App Review

Hi everyone, I made a rough school list, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice/opinions on schools that would be a good fit for me

A little about me: college junior (applying straight through), 3.97 cGPA, 3.94 BCPM, 518 MCAT. Asian Female

Hours: ~1000 research (3 poster presentations, 1 pub in progress); ~300 volunteering; ~75 shadowing; ~300 clinical; ~150 on campus job

Interests: working with underserved populations, learning about diverse perspectives, humanities, pediatrics, neuroscience/psychiatry, medical Spanish

Location: I'm from Pittsburgh, but my dad recently moved to NJ. PA residency I am mainly applying on the east coast as I don't want to be too far from family.

Without further ado, here's what I have so far:

Drexel, Geisinger, Jefferson-Kimmel, Lewis Katz- Temple, Penn State, Perelman- Penn, Pitt, Case Western, Ohio State, Univ. of Cincinnati, Hackensack Meridian, Rutgers New Jersey, Rutgers RWJ, Georgetown, Miami Miller, USF- Morsani, Emory, BU, Tufts, UMich, Cornell, Mount Sinai, Einstein, Brown, UVA, Johns Hopkins

What does your 300 hours of volunteering and 300 clinical hours consist of?

Please fill this in completely. You’ll get much better info if we know more about you and your application.
Good luck!

Don't forget: why is medicine your purpose? Skill-wise you should be good for the Philly schools (though metrics may make it tough for Penn). You won't go wrong with any of the other Philly, Geisinger, and NJ schools.
