I would take out ASDOH if you only have around 100 volunteer hours. I think their average is around 500 hours or more.

Thanks guys. I am trying to get down to about 10 schools. This is so stressful, especially when I do not even know my DAT score.

really pretty impossible to answer without your DAT scores...take out howard and meharry unless you are an URM

my opinion--remove schools listed in red

edit: if you're a URM, keep every school

I am Arabian, is that considered a minority or URM?
