Clarify: do you want to do research like an MD/PhD track? As you know, cardiology is practically everywhere, and nutrition in medicine is also prolific. Check this list against yours.

Medical Schools Using the HmF Curriculum

Find out which medical schools are using the Health meets Food Culinary Medicine curriculum and how to contact the leaders of each program.

culinarymedicine.org

You may be better served with a Masters in Nutrition than an MPH.

Regionally Accredited Graduate Programs

www.theana.org

Also check for other Masters in Nutrition programs if they aren't listed above.

I would tighten your list to be around 30 schools so that you can keep your ducks in a row. This isn't undergrad.

Compare your narrative/purpose to my former colleague:

Dr Florence Rothenberg — Edible Ohio Valley

A cardiologist and medical researcher in Cincinnati talks about her passion for changing community health, one neighbor at a time.

www.edibleohiovalley.com

New owner of old church plans to create community health center in 'heart' of Northside

An old church is getting a new life. This past winter, North Church closed its doors after 166 years.

I'd apply to Cincinnati; the cardiology team there is solid too.
I don't know why you have Carle listed. Are you an engineering grad?
For Loma Linda, how religious are you?
I don't think you'd fit CUNY. I think their program is a BS/MD track, so you would not be eligible.
Northstate has accreditation issues.
I'd also consider a more regional list, like switching Colorado, Utah, and UNLV for Hofstra, Penn State, and Stony. (Other listmakers may correct me.)
I'm not sure about the Arizona schools' mission fit, but it's worth a look.
I need more info why UFlorida.

I'm sure you are angling for your nutrition non-profit for a narrative. What will you do when you have to give it up so you can succeed as a physician?

Thank you for your advice! I don't believe I want to pursue an MD/PhD as I personally prefer a career focused on community work rather than research.

I'm not sure if I'm under the right impression but not all medical programs offer an MD/MS?

Would you have any advice for structuring my narrative? Or addressing any deficiencies in my application?

Grants are the currency of research careers, so if you are only applying MD, I'm not sure they will carry the weight you want them to. I'm sure it will be impressive, but it will impress more PhD faculty.

I can't really structure a narrative when you haven't actually given us one. 🙂 Again, compare with Florence.

California Northstate has accreditation issues. Carle Illinois is looking for applicants with an engineering background. CUNY only admits applicants through its undergraduate pathway. 45 schools is far too many to apply to. I suggest these schools from your list:

1. UCSF
2. UCI
3. UCSD
4. UCLA
5. UCD
6. USC
7. UCR (only if you are from that region)
8. California University of Science and Medicine
9. Kaiser Permanente
10. Loma Linda (if you fit their mission)
11. Stanford
12. Mayo Clinic
13. WashU
14. Northwestern
15. Case Western
16. Icahn
17. Albert Einstein
18. Georgetown
19. Columbia
20. University of Chicago
21. Hofstra
22. UPenn
23. Duke

Thank you for your advice! Would you suggest applying to any lower tier schools to increase my chances of an acceptance? I was worried my list may be too top-heavy.

You could remove some of the top tier schools on your list and replace them with schools such as Jefferson, USF Morsani, St. Louis, Iowa, Cincinnati.
