Hi everyone! I'm a nontraditional student planning to apply MD this cycle. Would love thoughts on my school list.
cGPA: 3.58

PostBac GPA: 3.74
MCAT: 520 (129/130/129/132)
Disadvantaged, ORM
State of Residency: Colorado, ties to Oklahoma (grew up there) and Texas (lived there for 3 years).
Clinical Experience: 400 Hours by time of app, but 2080 hours by summer 2024 of Medical Assisting in Colon and Rectal Surgery
300 Hrs of In-Patient Behavioral Health Technician Job
250 Hrs of Scribing in Emergency Department
60 Hours Harm Reduction Volunteering
62 Hrs of Shadowing between PM&R, OBGYN, Psychiatry (& electroconvulsive therapy), Colon/Rectal Surgery, some E-Shadowing during COVID
Research Experience:
290 Hrs Working as Lab Manager for Clinical Psych lab
460 Hrs of Clinical Psych Research + scholarships for my research in college student mental health
Honor’s Thesis on Suicide and Bipolar Disorder (Summa Cum Laude)
1 Posters Presentation at Psych Conference
Non-Clinical Experience:
8400 Hrs as Project Manager and Technology Consultant at Big 4 Firm
810 Hrs of Sexual Assault Hotline volunteering (includes leadership role)
20 Hrs + some projected hours – 50? of Women’s Shelter volunteering
Hobbies:

Piano, Concert Band, Percussion Ensembles, Study Abroad
School List:
High Reaches: Harvard, Stanford, Hopkins, UCSF, Penn, Yale, Columbia, Duke, Chicago
Reaches/Targets: Colorado, Oklahoma, Michigan, UCLA, NYU, Emory, Vanderbilt, Pitt, UCSD, Cornell, Northwestern, Mt. Sinai, Baylor, Mayo, UTSW, USC, Dartmouth, Einstein, Hofstra, UNC (?), Miami, Vermont, USF-Morani (?), SUNY Downstate, I will also probably just apply to all Texas schools since it’s a flat fee.
I’m not planning on applying DO, but I’m unsure.
Any thoughts or advice is appreciated!!
