Hi!

I just wanted to ask SDN what my chances are and get some advice on a school list
  1. cGPA: 3.61 (I have one quarter left and could potentially bring it to a 3.65)
  2. MCAT score(s) and breakdown: 515 (C/P: 128; CARS: 128; B/B: 129; P/S: 130)
  3. LizzyM Score: 70.1 (based on current GPA, 70.5 if GPA becomes 3.65)
  4. WARS Score: 65
  5. Undergrad school was a UC but not UCLA or UC Berkeley
  6. State of residence or country of citizenship (if non-US): California
  7. Ethnicity and/or race: South Asian
  8. Clinical experience
    1. Paid clinical 500 hours EMT for local Fire Department (program suspended due to COVID)
    2. Paid clinical 600-700 hours by this June as an MA for a Dermatology office
  9. Research experience and productivity
    1. 1 Year in a psychology lab as a research assistant
  10. Other extracurricular activities

Your stats are good and activities solid as well. One weak link is an apparent lack of volunteering - did you do events through the non-profit? Make sure to count that.


Otherwise, 80 schools is way overkill.

On top of the ones Faha recommends: Rochester, Wake Forest, Arizona, SLU,
