12. Anything else not listed you think might be important: traditional applicant
Current School List: Currently, I think my school list is a little long (aiming to apply for ~30-35) and would like some help cutting it down/adding others as necessary. Also worried that my list is too "top heavy". Ideally, I am looking for schools on the East Coast or as far west as the Midwest that have an aspect of developing Spanish-speaking/multi-lingual doctors either explicitly through the curriculum or through the demographics of the rotation/clerkship sites. Open to most specialities with a focus on long-term patient relationships. Additionally, any ways to further improve my application before May would be appreciated 🙂.
