Mom of 4 Needs Help with School List

[MOFNT]

Hello,

Could someone please help me narrow down a school list to apply to this cycle? A little of my background and stats first.

-34yr US citizen/Asian immigrant, North Carolina resident;
-Stay at home mom for 8 years(supporting expat. husband and raising kids);
-Undergrad(English major) completed overseas;
-Worked as a translator for about 1yrs after college;
-No science background;

I took classes at CC in the past 2yrs, completed 76 credits includ. all prereq. with 4.0 and an A- for Genetics at state Uni.
Self-studied biochem, took MCAT in July and scored 511 (127/130/126/128---I'm taking biochem this fall!)
Volunteered at a local hospital on patient care floor for 100 HRS;
Shadowed Internalist and GI doc for about 30hrs.

I've applied to all 4 schools in North Carolina and currently looking for 6-8 more to add, preferably in Southeastern states and TX, AK, OH, PA.

Thank you in advance for your input! I'm not familiar with US schools so I have a lot of hw to do.

Thank you in advance for your input! I'm not familiar with US schools so I have a lot of hw to do.

I suggest:
VCU
EVMS
LMU
ACOM
LECOM-B
PCOM-GA
PCOM
LECOM
U Toledo
OH-COM
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
all three VCOMs
Va Tech IF you live in rural western NC
CUSOM
U WV

TX is not viable if you're a non-Texan.
For AK, did you mean Alaska, or Arkansas?
If the latter, add; NYITCOM-AR and ARCOM.

Alaska has no state school per se, residents there are favored by U WA.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your help. BTW I meant Arkansas.

What about Penn State, U of Wisconsin, U of Toledo, U of Louisville?
Any reason they are not on the list?
What else should I be looking into besides median GPA, MCAT, out of state student % and older students number, school's mission statement for the initial filtering? (tuitions are similar for most out of states.)

You are competitive for all of the below, IMHO:
Rochester (maybe)
Hofstra (maybe)
Albert Einstein (maybe)
UCF (maybe)
Pitt (maybe)
U Toledo
Dartmouth
U VM
Miami
Tufts
George Washington
Georgetown
SLU
Albany
Rush
Rosy Franklin
NYMC

MCW
VCU
EVMS
Wayne State
Wake Forest
Netter
Jefferson
Temple
Drexel
Creighton
Tulane
Loyola
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Oakland-B
Seton Hall
Nova MD
Your state schools
Any DO program. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.

Seriously??? I thought you had sth valuable to contribute. Just because I worked as a translator for a year doesn't mean I'm immune from typos.

"ppl" "selfcheck"
"people" "self-check"

Clearly @Modest_anteater if you have time to quibble over "1yrs" when it's perfectly clear what she meant, then your day is not that busy.
