This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Add another 30 hours at the food pantry (some schools screen at 150 hours for non clinical volunteering). I suggest these schools with your stats:
UPenn
Pittsburgh
Jefferson
Drexel
Temple
Penn State
Rochester
Harvard
Tufts
Boston University
Brown
Yale
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
NYU
Columbia
Cornell
U Virginia
Cincinnati
Ohio State
Case Western
U Michigan
Northwestern
Washington University (in St. Louis-almost a guaranteed interview with your stats)
Vanderbilt
St. Louis
Mayo
USF Morsani
Miami
Duke
 
I had originally tried for my narrative in writing my PS to be towards working w/ diverse, especially immigrant/urban underserved populations, but besides the Spanish minor and a couple ECs I'm not sure if the rest of my application really conveys that.
I don't see the hours where you are working with immigrant urban underserved populations. Could you highlight how many non-clinical hours were with this group?

I guess that's the problem here, it had felt a lot more cohesive while I'm actually doing those activities. It would be the 120 food pantry hours I've amassed so far + 150 free clinic hours + probably ~100 of the other non-clinical volunteering hours working with middle/high school students in science.

I forgot to mention in my original post that I'd like to stay in the Mid-atlantic if possible and am totally OK going DO if it meant that I could stay closer to my support system. There seems to be a lot of big name schools on there and I don't feel great sending in a donation to that many schools lol. If there are maybe 3-5 big name schools you'd recommend on the list to apply to on a whim, what would you recommend?
