Hello everyone! I'm just looking for some input on my school list. I have shown this to a few friends and many have said that I'm applying to "too many schools," and that "you'll be fine," but I personally feel like I should rather play it safe than being sorry.
Either way, let me know if you feel like my list has too many schools, or whether some should be logically cut out?
37Q MCAT/4.0 GPA from state university
~ 400 clinical hours from working as a tech in psych. ward
~ 100 hours of ER volunteering
~ 80 hours of non-clinical volunteering
~ 500 hours of research (did a decent amount of stuff with my research)
I know my stats technically make me competitive for most schools I'm going to apply to, but I also understand that what most people consider "top" schools are also extremely hard to get into, regardless of stats.
My school list:
Case
Rosalind Franklin
Duke
Harvard
Indiana
Johns Hopkins
Loyola
Mayo
MSU (instate)
Northwestern
Oakland (instate)
Ohio State
UPenn
Rush
Pritzker
Cincinnati
Michigan (instate)
WashU
Wayne State (instate)
Wright
Yale
At this point, I'm just wondering whether this is too many schools that I am applying to, and whether I could safely remove some from my list? (I have about 11 "reach" schools and 10 "safety" schools)
Thanks for any input.
