Hello everyone!
I am currently in the process of applying and pretty much done with everything. I would just like some opinions on my stats and selection of schools. I will also take suggestions on any other schools that you think I am a good fit for

State of Residence: Rhode Island
Undergrad Degree: Mathematics (graduated 2018)
GPA: 3.86
sGPA: 3.83

PAT: 20
RC: 17
QR: 17 (As a math major, this was very disappointing)
Biology: 22
GC: 21
OC: 24
TS: 22
AA: 20

I have just over 70 hours of shadowing experience
80 hours of volunteering at a children's bereavement center and intend on doubling the hours by next June
Don't have any extra curricular activities, but have accumulated over 6000 work hours over the past 4 years and lived at home 3/4 years of undergrad
LOR: From 3 professors (2 of which are math), 1 advisor/former manager, and a committee letter
Additionally, I am applying as a disadvantaged applicant being a first generation American, neither of my parents attended college and grew up in a household of 4 with our annual income being ~30k

List of schools:
1. UConn (Top pick)
2. BU
3. UPitt
4. Tufts
5. U Maryland
6. UNE
7. Temple
8. UPenn
9. UCLA/Rutgers??? (Contemplating on just keeping it at 8)

shadow more
and get an LOR from a dentist

I think you have a good shot at UNE. I don't think you should apply to UCLA.

I think you should add some private schools like LECOM. I second what @macsak said regarding the letter from a dentist. It is required for some schools, so double check that none of the schools in your list require it if you choose not to get one. It would've been nice to see some ECs on your app, but you do have a ton of work experience, stellar GPA, and solid DAT, which is good. Wishing you the best.
