I'm looking to apply to more affordable schools that are welcoming to out-of-state students. It's important to me that these schools offer robust clinical experiences and have a strong commitment to community service. Please advise if there are any schools I should consider adding or removing from my list. Thank you for your assistance!

You should focus on 10-15 schools (your list feels long). Do you have access to a prehealth advisor?

I need a little more insight into your leadership experiences. You only list being a lab group leader; what is that? Are you involved in any other campus activities?
