Obviously your metrics will make you a rock star. Align your list with

Student Advisory Board - Student Advisory Board

The PHR Student Advisory Board (SAB) is a group of medical students that coordinates and oversees the PHR student program. SAB applications open each spring, and any student who is passionate about human rights is welcome to apply.

Sorry, they migrated to a new website, so their list of student-run asylum clinics and student chapters aren't accessible. Be picky and do your background research with PHR before you start. Don't apply to more than 30 schools; you should be able to call your shot if your work resonates with the PHR.

See if you can attend/volunteer at their upcoming conference in March.

Student Advisory Board - 2025 Student Conference

Please note registration is required for admission to the conference. Registration closes on March 7th for all attendees coming from outside Harvard. All persons accepted for abstract presentation must register for the conference by March 7th. We hope to see you there, and please explore our

Thank you so much for letting me know about this opportunity!! Just to clarify, you recommend I look at schools that have an existing chapter such that my interests align and have that be a factor in selecting the schools I choose to apply to? Likewise, a question I had was about tutoring in terms of non-clinical volunteering. I know you usually mention it as a generic pre-med activity and was wondering whether you recommend I try to find other types in the coming few months!

West Virginia admits few non residents with no connection to the state or region. Remove Albany and Wake Forest since they will "yield protect" with your stats. You should receive several interviews from the other schools on your list.

Any stretch opportunity (out of your comfort zone) serving non-refugees (since that will be most of the patients you will encounter in your training until you hit specific fellowship/residency opportunities) when it comes to social services for food distribution, shelter volunteering, job/tax preparation, transportation services, or housing rehabilitation would help, though I suspect you already have much of this affecting refugee communities already.

I would not recommend more tutoring or teaching hours; you already have demonstrated academic competency.

It's easier to look at schools with existing chapters. I linked you with their national leadership roster to give you an idea of different schools that have chapters. That said, you want to make sure you note all clinical opportunities. You aren't there just to be a chapter leader... you're going to become a physician, so don't overlook the clinical opportunities you want to prepare you for the next step ahead, including student research or advocacy.

It doesn't hurt to get your name/face out there to network with other current students whose interests share yours. Hope you can go to the national conference in March.
