Hi,
This is a pretty detailed WAMC post for this upcoming cycle. I am an ORM F with mid to high stats and good EC’s with a well-rounded story on significant family with chronic disease and how that led me to have a specific interest in disease management and underserved communities. I am not sure how many reach schools to apply to since I know my stats aren’t to par of T30 schools. I am also not sure if my non-clinical volunteering hours are too low.

Thanks!! Appreciate any responses
