I am new to this SDN thing but I see a lot of people seeking advice like this and getting great feedback so I am hoping the SDN world will give me some as well! Sorry for the length but I’m just going to lay it all out there.
I applied in the 2016 cycle and learned A LOT about the process. So I am trying to correct the mistakes I made and make sure I get every piece of advice that I can get for this next cycle. I’m curious what schools you all believe are in my ball park.
I believe my EC's are pretty good, the biggest factor I am missing is research but since I am out of school that isn't something I can do. Please let me know what you all think:
Volunteer hours: >300 (currently working on this to have more by the time June comes around)
Shadowing hours: >150 I have shadowed different doctors in different fields
Direct patient care: >1200 (+ more for my new app as I work full time with patients daily now)
GPA of >3.6
The MCAT (498-505) was my biggest downfall this cycle, I believe, as well as getting my secondaries in late.
In all:What list of schools would you advise?
(My goal is to make a huge jump on the MCAT ~515 but I want to make my list for a score of ~510)
