What do your prehealth advisors suggest about your list? Did you grow up in the Inland Empire? Why didn't you pursue an SMP?

I've been out of school for a year, so don't have a prehealth advisor. No, Norcal. Wanted to learn about public health instead, got the motivation originally post COVID to go into epidemiology, but wanted something that would be more applicable clinically.

Your list is pretty ambitious. PCOM (exceptGA), MSU, Rowan, RVU, are unlikely. The rest may ne worth a shot.
