My Questions:
- I plan on applying to around 30-35 schools and just kind of through this list together. Ideal school would be in a suburban area with P/F grading, but beggars can’t be choosers, so any help modifying my school list is greatly appreciated.
- Any red flags, etc that you could see with my application are also wanted. Obviously my stats are pretty average for a California applicant, and I have been having a hard time finding shadowing during covid.
- I also don’t know if I need more clinical volunteering, because I have a lot of EMT paid hours, and a decent amount of nonclinical volunteering, I don’t necessarily know what to do in this situation?
