Hi all just some background

Clinical - 1k MA work, 350 working as an aid for ppl of disability
Teaching - 450, TA work
Service - 110 - food bank + misc volunteering thru clubs
Research - 650 hours (no pubs 🙁 )
Leadership - two eboard positions + chair positions in fraternity

NY resident, 518 (CP 130, CARS 128, BB 129, PS 131) , 3.71 cGPA and 3.72 sGPA (weighed down significantly by some bad grades while taking dual enrollment in HS)

So i've kinda made a school list off of mid range stats while trying to keep out a lot of the super service heavy schools

New York​

1. Jacobs/University at Buffalo
2. SUNY Upstate
3. SUNY Downstate
4. Albany Medical College
5. New York Medical College
6. Stony Brook
7. University of Rochester
8. Hofstra

OOS

1. University of Vermont
2. Sidney Kimmel/Jefferson
3. Drexel
4. Temple
5. Penn State
6. Quinnipiac
7. Wake Forest
8. Medical College of Wisconsin
9. Rosalind Franklin
10. Western Michigan/Stryker
11. Oakland Beaumont
12. University of Miami
13. University of Cincinnati
14. Ohio State
15. VCU
16. Virginia Tech

1. Case Western
2. Emory
3. Dartmouth
4. Tufts
5. Mount Sinai
6. Pittsburgh
7. Brown
8. Vanderbilt
9. Penn

Any feedback on the list? i'm not super picky about location, my MCAT score was a shock and a better than expected so I wanted to include some lotteries. I appreciate any feedback 🙂

Get in some more service!
List is good. I 've removed some schools that may resource protection you out, and a few that will be donations.

Consider adding UCSF, KECK, U MA, USF/MORSANI

Aren't cost of attendance, moving, and living also factors?

On average, each cycle costs around $2500 median among our Accepted Student Survey respondents over the last 2 years.

I'm fortunate to have my family's financial assistance, so I'm mostly just trying to maximize my odds and trying to avoid reapplying.
