Hello all! I am a recently graduated neuroscience major looking for help in building my school list. I am hoping to apply to 25-30 schools for financial reasons. Let me know what suggestions you may have for my school list please. Here are some relevant facts:
GPA: cGPA 3.86 sGPA 3.85
MCAT: 2nd attempt 515 (128/129/127/131), 1st attempt 508
Hours: 900 Clinical Hours (paid and not paid), ~1000 Research, 222 hours of non-clinical volunteering, 85 shadowing hours
Research-related things: 3 publications (1 in Nature, 1 is a micropublication), 4 posters presentations, 2 awards (one prestigious award for my undergrad for humanitarianism, senior thesis award), 2 research grant awards
Misc things: Dean's list a few semesters (4 semesters), recipient of important scholarship in SoCal, history of homelessness/housing insecurity mentioned in my app
LOR: Committee letter 4 other LORs, including 1 from PI. Should be pretty strong.
School List: I know that there are some big reaches, hoping to add some more suited schools so looking for any advice
