Hey all, I've been spending lots of time on MSAR and have come up with a list of schools for this upcoming application cycle. I'm hoping to get some feedback from you wise people on this forum! I really want to go to a school that has good opportunities for experience in primary care; all my experiences are leading me to want to go into urban underserved care, with an emphasis on policy/program development. I'm also, therefore, looking for schools with programs like UChicago's MD/AM, or NYU's MD/MPA. I welcome recommendations for schools that fit this model! I want to add a couple more safeties to my list.
Stats: 4.0 CGPA, high 520s
CA ORM
Research: 1200ish h, a small grant, 3 posters and a talk
Clinical: 800ish hours volunteering, 3200 (extrapolated) paid employment
Nonclinical: 1200ish hours volunteering with significant leadership
Shadowing: 40 hours
Almost all my clinical/nonclinical work serves the same population, which I want to continue serving in and beyond medical school.
List:
UCSF
UC Davis
UCLA
UC San Diego
USC
Stanford
Harvard
Yale
Duke
UPenn
JHU
NYU
Case/Cleveland
UMich
UChicago
Northwestern
OHSU (went to HS here)
UW (if I can argue in-state due to strong nuclear family presence there)
Rush
Loyola
Tufts
BU
UNC
