I would remove Columbia, Cornell, and Icahn from this list.

You have enough clinical experience.

Which of the above experiences are volunteering?

One significant problem is that all of the experiences are in your comfort zone. It's all clinical. You need non-clinical volunteering where you are participating in service which is outside of your comfort zone. You need to show that you're comfortable being uncomfortable.

Your letters are good? Your narrative is good (why be a doctor when you can be of service as an RN)?

Others will comment on your school list; I agree with Columbia, Cornell & Icahn being reaches. NYU is also a reach.

 

[LunaOri]

You are a successful nurse; your narrative about why you want to become a physician (rather than APRN or NP or CRNA) is very important.

Also not to open debate, but why not continue to a DNP? What is your endgame?

Are you open to DO?
