Hi everyone,

I am in need of help in creating a school list. I have schools in mind but I would really appreciate advice from experience members on SDN. My GPA is 3.73 and I have an MCAT score of 516. I attended a top 20 public university and I graduated May of 2017. I have about 1 year of full time research in clinical cardiovascular research at a top 20 university in which I have had significant patient interaction. I have 2 abstract submissions in the Journal of American College of Cardiology (JACC) and 2 pending paper publications as well as a handful of pending abstracts. I volunteer at a clinic for refugees and the uninsured. I don't really have any leadership experience from college but I am an Eagle scout. I understand that this an achievement from before college but I have read that being an Eagle scout is viewed favorably. I have 5 strong letters of recommendation. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

I made some changes. Why did you say to remove Brown, Baylor, U Chicago, Northwestern, U Penn? My LizzyM score isn't too far off from those schools.
