Hey everyone, I wanted to ask for some advice about my application/school list with my updated MCAT.
I'm a reapplicant, and I applied early decision to NJMS this year but got deferred. I know I got advice on here previously to get more non-clinical volunteering outside of my comfort zone, and I recently started volunteering for a free clinic. Is there anything else about my application that is a red flag? Are there any more schools I should add?
Thank you in advance!
