WAMC/School List – 507, 3.4cGPA, 3.1sGPA. 4.0 Grad GPA, URM

[indigopuddin]

I am trying to make a school list while waiting for my primary to be verified. I am a little worried about how low my mcat score and gpa is. I have some reach schools in there for sure but it is my first time applying so I am making sure that I don’t have too many reach schools. Here are my stats:

Indiana Resident
URM -- black female
Undergrad GPA: 3.4 cGPA, 3.1 sGPA (went to Ohio State)
Grad GPA: 4.0 in the first year of my SMP
MCAT: 500 (126/126/124/124) --> 507 (128/126/126/127)

2 years translational research
300 hours of clinical volunteering at Free Clinic
500 hours nonclinical volunteering at food shelters
3000 hours Resident Advisor
1500 hours leadership role in Club
1000 hours other ECs, including study abroad
78 hours shadowing

Currently, I am considering the following schools:
Rush
University Illinois Chicago
Loyola
Drew @ UCLA
Northwestern*
Einstein
GWU
Georgetown
University of Arizona (Tucson & Phoenix)
NYMC
Mt. Sinai*
Temple
Drexel
Jefferson
Cincinnati
Ohio State
Howard
Morehouse
Meharry
Indiana
Tulane
Emory

*I know these are reach schools

If there are any that I should get rid of or add, please let me know! Also, should I be applying to DO schools with my stats?
Thanks!!

You do not need to apply to DO schools. You should submit your application in the next week and all your secondaries by early September.
