[thatchargersguy]

Hey everyone-- just made an account because I got my MCAT score back today. Looking for help with my potential school list for the upcoming cycle.

• Year in school: Graduated in May 2020
• ORM male
• State of Residence: Wisconsin
• Undergrad institution: VA state school
• cGPA: 3.91
• sGPA: 3.9
• MCAT: 519 (130/129/131/129)
• Research
  • None
• Clinical Experience
  • ~200 hours volunteering in a regional ED during college
• Shadowing (concerning)
  • Virtual shadowing during the pandemic through UTSW
  • Planned to get shadowing during gap year, but the pandemic made that tough
• Non-clinical volunteering
  • Tutoring elementary school kids: 2 years during undergrad about 250 total hours
  • Local autism center for kids: 30 hours
• Extracurriculars
  • Social Fraternity
    • leadership positions: Health and Safety Officer, Vice President
  • Swim club member
  • UAID member (helped organize fundraisers)
• Employment
  • Summer job in college: Camp Director for a summer program for financially challenged families through a county government
  • Current: FT employee for an EHR company

I plan to apply for the HPSP and to USUHS if that factors for anything

For the list I made I filtered around on the MSAR for stats and also for OOS favorability, beyond that I am a bit lost haha

You have a great application. The only weak link is the research - if you could do something to fill in that gap, you would be a strong applicant for many top tiers.

For now I think your list is okay but I would add a few schools from the upper tier (Sinai, Cornell, Michigan, Emory come to mind as examples). I don't think you need DO applications.

Could add Dartmouth, Emory, Michigan. Look at MSAR for other possibilities.
