Hi, I've been struggling with my school list. For reference my stats are:
MCAT: 510, GPA: 3.63 sGPA 3.5
2000+ research hours and 2 presentations, 2000+ nonclinical volunteer hours, 250 clinical volunteer hours, 50 hrs shadowing, 6 LOR's, for leadership I started a dance team and I TA'd for a bio class. I also consistently worked 2 jobs throughout college. I'm an URM (black woman) from SoCal and come from an underserved community. I would like to go to a school that emphasizes research and preferably in an urban community bc my PS focused on that. (I'm graduating college next month so I am going to work as a medical scribe during my gap year to increase clinical hours)
