I am looking through schools again for this year and hoping to expand my schools applied to and improve my chances, so I'll be going through the other threads and data on the schools to decide, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! A glaring issue for me with some schools is my 70 CC credits, which can't be helped much at this point... Biggest thing I will be working on this month and beyond will be getting more shadowing hours, but of course further suggestions are welcomed.

my biggest issue is the shadowing hours...
and the fact you only applied to 4 schools

apply broadly and wisely and early after upping your hours and your odds will improve greatly
