As the title says I need help chopping down and modifying my school list.
I plan on a applyling within the next two weeks (several things made it so
I wouldn't be able to apply the second the AMCAS opens but Im not overly worried). So first a quick bio
CA Resident, non-URM but considered low income and labeled as such by AAMC as in the "AAMC Minority Medical Student Applicant Registry" and the first of my immediate family to complete college.
3.99 cGPA/ 4.00 sGPA
35 MCAT (14/11/10)
Junior Molecular Biology Major/ Chem minor
2 years research experience at University (no publish, poster and presentation)
Research program for 8 weeks this summer
1 year surgeon shadowing (+100hrs)
1 year hospital volunteering (~70hrs, ongoing)
3 years volunteer experience/community service where I was coordinator for an internship with this community service (awarded by county for contribution)
Honors, and a bunch of societies.
Several leadership positions non-medical (Activities coordinator of environmentalist club, etc.)
Several big extracurriculars non-medical
Owned my own business for 4 years now
Worked as a tutor, and as an internship coordinator (mentioned earlier) with uni
Head of public relations for my honors society
US Med Schools only, preference towards schools near largish cities.
Im aiming for around 20-25ish schools to apply to. And Ive been mailed directly by Vanderbilt, Harvard, UCSF, and Duke if that means anything recommending me to check out and apply to their schools...it probably means nothing though.
My current list is
SAFETY
Albany
virginia tech
uc davis
loyla
penn state
NYMD
U of Az
Eastern Virginia
university of miama
Errr kinda safety but just above thatish....
albert einstien
Mid Tier
mayo
ucla geffen
ucsd
rochester
Duke
USC-Keck
Dartmouth
UCI
High mid.....but not quite reach
columbia
Reach
weill cornell
NYU school of medicine or fienberg
mt sinia
vanderbilt
pritzker
yale
I will sacrifice as many baby goats as needed because these are my dreams
UCSF
hopkins
stanford
Harvard
So yeah tell me I'm being an idiot and that Im way overestimating myself.
