Hey all!

497--> 500 MCAT/3.9 GPA
DC Resident
URM/SES

180 HRS research with Poster Presentation (and Research Award)
150 HRS as Pharm Tech
100 HRS Shadowing
200 HRS as immigration club leadership
300 HRS Volunteer Clinical
2.5K+ HRS Community Service (non-clinical)
350 HRS founding and making music with a band for marginalized artists

What MD schools do you think I have a good chance of getting into and should be added to my application?

I also had another question -- since 500 is the cutoff at some schools, my application should make it through that filter, correct?

Thank you all!

Welcome to the forums.

Have you visited or gone to recruitment events at DC-area programs?

IMO: At minimum, the three DC schools and Maryland should be on your list. You should also include all HBCU (Morehouse, Meharry, Charles Drew) and DO programs near you (Meritus, VCOM), consider the Virginia schools.

No, unfortunately not 🙁
