I know my MCAT and GPA are fine for many top schools from looking at the MSAR, but I'm hesitant to apply to top schools like Baylor, Stanford, WUSTL, Yale, UMichigan, etc. because my ECs are only average at best. Should I bother applying to top schools like this, or stick to my Texas state schools?
ECs:
volunteering - spanish interpreting at two community health clinics. i plan to volunteer with Hospice and a residential rehab center for teenage boys during my gap year while i apply.
jobs - currently tutor little kids 10 hrs/week
worked for a summer at a cafe in south america.
research - 2 years in same lab, 1 year in a genetics lab before my current lab, no publications,
one poster presentation, honors thesis, and symposium presentation from the lab i'm currently in.
