I applied this cycle and received 5 II, waitlisted at all of them (FIU, UM Miller, USF, UCF, Nova MD). I graduated 2019 from FIU. I have a 3.79 GPA and 512 MCAT. I know that there is a chance I could get off a waitlist but I'm already preparing to reapply for next cycle. I believe that the schools that I applied to out-of-state were out of my reach (Boston U, NYU, Johns Hopkins, U Chicago, Albert Einstein, Emory, SUNY Downstate, Northwestern) and none of them offered an II.

I was wondering if you could help me find target schools (both MD and DO) based on my stats that are a better fit for me, so that I don't have as many pre-II R's next cycle.

Extracurriculars (900+): Peer tutoring, study abroad, volunteer for research, mentoring program

Volunteering (255 Hours): Hospital, health fairs

Research (800+): Child motor development lab, posters and publication

Paid clinical research (5000): Have been working as a research assistant and now research coordinator for 5 years

Please let me know what you think! Besides being promoted at my job and publishing a paper, there is nothing different about my application for the next cycle.
