I am wondering how my school list looks considering my lack of volunteer hours (which I think is the weakest part of my application). I also have an interest in rural medicine, although I don’t mind a city, and my application is very psychiatrically focused. I wonder if my safe school to reach school ratio is adequate?

Thank you, JoeBagodonuts
