Hey guys so my application is finally ready to go other than finishing up my PS and works/activities. I am not sure on my school list yet though.
My stats are cGPA: 3.899 and sGPA is like a 3.85. Just got my MCAT scores back today and I got a 37S 13 PS 11 VS and 13 BS.
I have the usual EC's.. nothing special
- ~70 hours by the time I apply of volunteering at the neuroscience department working with the code stroke team and another 100+ hours working at the same hospital in high school
- clinical research with a pediatric cardiologist for a summer and a little bit during the school year on the same project
- co-founder and officer of a club at my college to help bring students together for studying and host events during the semester with food and etc when the libraries are packed
- the usual awards and honor societies.. dean's list every semester, phi beta kappa and a couple other award and various honor societies
- not too much shadowing.. about 20 hours by the time I apply
- other non med/science related jobs include delivering japanese food for a restaurant and also being a waiter at another restaurant
- dont know if they are important but my hobbies include working out, running, skating and snowboarding
So I plan on applying:
my state schools, UMDNJ-RWJ and the other UMDNJ
BU
NYU
Mount Sinai
Georgetown
Tufts
Drexel or Temple (whichever is in the safer part of Philly)
U of Maryland
Maybe Darthmouth or some other schools on the east coast? I'm really not sure at all what schools to apply to does anyone have any suggestions? Do I have a shot at getting into Mount Sinai or NYU? Those are definitely my top choices right now. Thanks in advance for any input
