Credo che tu avrai successo quest'anno con questa applicazione. Pero, ripensa Rush. Questa scuola spesso richiede piu di 850 ore del servizio alla comunità. Se non hai successo, il prossimo anno acquise piu volontariato clinico. Buena fortuna!

Do you have a massive upward grade trend? If not, you can take several of those reach schools off.

Columbia, Penn, Baylor, Cornell and UVA can all be taken off regardless, as your GPAs will be too low for them.

Florida, Wisconsin are unlikely due to your OOS residency.

Have you read about Loma Linda and their expecations? You need to, thoroughly, before applying there.

Would recommend picking a few of your favorite D.O. schools as well.

chymeofpassion, grazie mille per il consiglio!

suaveCardigans- I agree on the reach schools. The reason columbia and cornell are on there is because the dr I'm shadowing works at cornell and columbia and he believes I should apply there. As for penn, the research position I have is at upenn med school so there's a similar line of reasoning there. I will read about Loma Linda, my list was mainly based off of LizzyM score so it is very preliminary. I do have an upward gpa trend, not massive though- 3.5, 3.3, 3.3, 3.6 cGPA; 3, 2.7, 3, 3.5 sGPA
Can you provide me with any more advice based on this information?

I am not sure, but I will tag @gyngyn for a more authoritative opinion.
