Help with school list? (Posting for a friend)
They are looking for advice on schools to apply to beyond their current list, and perhaps also on suggested cuts.
*State/Country of Residence: Oregon
* Ties to other States/Regions: Y (Maryland)
* URM? (Y/N): Y (African-American Male)
* Year in School: Graduate (Graduated Spring 2022 in 3rd year)
* Undergraduate Major(s)/Minor(s): Biology
* Cumulative GPA: 3.86
* Science GPA: 3.81
* MCAT Score(s): 517
* Research Experience: 800 (Remote Research done during COVID and separate program in person)
* Publications/Abstracts/Posters (include how you were credited e.g. first author, second author, etc.): 1 poster (First Author) presented at two neuroscience research fairs with second receiving “Best Poster” award
* Clinical Experience (paid or volunteer): Medical Scribe 700 hours (Will continue working), crisis counselor 160 hours (Will continue working), volunteer at ED of hospital 70 hours (Will continue working)
* Physician Shadowing: 32 hours shadowing family physicians at community health center (hopefully more before applying) and 20 hours remote shadowing (During COVID)
* Non-Clinical Volunteering: 80 hours Tutoring K-12 students in underserved communities (will continue working), 150 hours volunteer MCAT tutoring through organization I co-founded (will continue working)
* Other Extracurricular Activities: Held leadership positions on two clubs (2 years for each), TA'd biology courses for 2 years
* Other Employment History: Private MCAT tutor
* Immediate family members in medicine? (Y/N): Y (mother)
* Specialty of Interest (if applicable): (not sure though leaning to psychiatry first, surgery second, and pediatrics third, open to anything though of course)
* Interest in Primary Care (Y/N): Y
* Interest in Rural Health (Y/N): N (more interested in urban health)
* Medical School List: Meharry Medical College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Howard University School of Medicine, George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Oregon Health and Sciences University, Wayne State University School of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, NYU Long Island School of Medicine, Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine, UCSF School of Medicine, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, Stanford University School Medicine, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Washington University School of Medicine, NYU Grossman School of Medicine (and maybe on either Northwestern or UChi Pritzker + Geisinger). Primarily looking for schools where I can graduate with least debt + get accepted + have diversity as I truly do not want to be the only POC. Note: regarding CRD I took one semester of biochemistry only which as I understand means I cannot apply.
