I am a 4th year MD student on the east coast applying to pediatrics. Originally from Southern CA (SD) and would love to be back in the area but am not opposed to NorCal or other bigger cities like NYC, DC, Houston. I am fluent in Spanish and have done considerable work at the U.S. Mexico border over my free summer with one publication in the works.
STEP 1: 228 (kind of low I know)
STEP 2: 252
Lot of volunteer hours with local refugee orgs in my city and 2 research experiences (one pub). I am fluent in Spanish and want programs that allow me to work in these settings with social justice advocacy with a community and academic focus.
All the UC's, Children's Oakland, Montefiore, Columbia, Cornell, NYU, Baylor, Kaiser, Children's National, Georgetown are all on my list. Anything else i should consider while I am making my list? I don't want to be in a smaller city because I did that for medical school and ready to be in a bigger metropolitan area.
