Hi all,
I'm currently gearing up to apply, but I'm having a lot of trouble narrowing down my list, especially with the conflicting advice I've gotten about what to consider a target school.
Here are my stats:
MCAT: 520 GPA: 3.78 sGPA: 3.69
LizzyM: 74 WARS ~80
Junior biochemistry major, applied stats minor
130 hrs non-clinical volunteering (homeless shelter, music-related things)
70 hrs clinical volunteering (hospital Childlife)
90 hrs shadowing (primary care and specialty)
Chemistry lab TA during the semester, TA for a summer science program for high schoolers.
ECs: Business Manager and treasurer of my a cappella group, in a select choir, awards for vocal performance
Research: A few semesters on bench-research projects, switched to public health research. Will be on 2 papers submitted this summer and presenting at a conference in the fall (not sure if I can put that on my app, unfortunately). Also conducting public health research this summer.
Hoping to do an MD/MPH, so I'm looking for a school with good public health research opportunities.
Not sure about a specialty, but interested in academic medicine, public health, maybe pediatrics or endocrinology. My research is on transgender and LGBTQ health, so anywhere with a focus on that is a plus.
From NY, hoping to stay in the Northeast for med school, preferably in a city.
Here is my list so far: Any advice about how to narrow down would be greatly appreciated!
Harvard
Columbia
Duke
Yale
NYU
Weill Cornell
Mount Sinai
Boston University
Warren Alpert- Brown
Albert Einstein
Dartmouth
Georgetown
Tufts
UMass
Temple
UCONN
Thomas Jefferson
George Washington
Stonybrook
Hofstra
Drexel
Albany
NY Medical College
SUNY Downstate
SUNY Upstate
