Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on a school list as I have to finalize it soon. I had several friends with similar stats who got rejected last cycle, so I'm very anxious about my school list. In general, I'd prefer to stay on the east coast, but of course any school is a good school! Please let me know if I should remove any schools from my list that are too far reaches, and if I should add any other MD or DO schools - thank you!!
cGPA: 3.78, sGPA: 3.64
MCAT: 519
Major: Biology
Minor: Sociology
Residence: Massachusetts
Ethnicity: white
Research: 730 hours, malaria lab; no publications, unfortunately, but several poster presentations at on-campus events
Clinical volunteering: 250 hours, local hospital
Clinical experience: medical scribe, emergency department, 370 hours
Shadowing: 20 hours (cardiology)
Non-clinical Volunteering: only 20 hours at a homeless shelter - COVID-19 struck 2 weeks in; I'm hoping to do much more throughout my gap year once things (hopefully) settle down!
Leadership/Other: Biology club vice president, physiology lecture and lab TA, organic chemistry tutor (~200 hours)
Medical School List:
University of Massachusetts
BU
Tufts
Harvard
Dartmouth
NYU
Mt. Sinai
Columbia
NY Med
Albert Einstein
Thomas Jefferson
Pitt
Temple
UVA
Emory
Vanderbilt
University of Chicago
Rush - not sure about this though, given my lack of non-clinical volunteering
University of Miami
USF-Select
USC-Keck
UCSF
Thank you so much!
