Unfortunately I don't really have any nonclinical volunteering. I graduated 3 years ago, and my current tech role has been basically the only thing I've done the past year besides studying for the MCAT. Most of my other employment was either during college or during my first gap year.With so many employment hours, you seem to have been out of school for a while. How about your nonclinical community service since graduating?

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my list and give suggestions! If possible, I would like to ask a few questions for my own understanding:You could also add any of these schools:
TCU
NOVA MD
Belmont
Eastern Virginia
Quinnipiac
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my list and give suggestions! If possible, I would like to ask a few questions for my own understanding:
- while UWisconsin isn't favorable as an out-of-state applicant, I do feel as though I have significant ties as I live closeby right now (and will have lived there for a year by the time I submit my secondary). Do you think that adds anything to my chances? I'd still choose California as my state of residence since that is where I've spent my whole life until now, and my family lives there. But I think I could speak strongly about to ties to wisconsin in the secondary
- similarly, having 2 siblings in New York, I wonder if that gives me any boost for NY schools
- From MSAR, it looks like TCU gives less than 4% of OOS applicants an II - any particular reason you would recommend this school? I am considering TMDSAS, but I'd probably apply to a couple schools given the flat fee for the primary
- in general, if you have any insight or broad reasons as to why you suggested those schools that are maybe lesser known reasons (not just OOS-friendliness), I'd love to hear about those. Ex: does anything about my ECs lead you to believe those schools would be better? Or is it mainly just stats and OOS-friendliness?
Thank you!
Thank you for the clarification. I interpret this the same as you, and that will be a big factor in my application that I hadn't considered.On AMCAS, you can only choose one state of legal residence. You can't double or triple declare.
Residence for Tuition Overview
Determinations of residence status for tuition purposes (“in-state” or “out-of-state” tuition status) are made by Residence Specialists the Office of the Registrar. Residence determinations are generally made before the student begins taking classes at the University. Students must have a...registrar.wisc.edu
According to these rules, once you pass 1 year living in Wisconsin, you can't be a California resident for tuition purposes. Confirm with your schools before applying.
Now UC schools do like to pick candidates who grew up in SES neighborhoods in counties around their campuses, but if you haven't lived in California for a year, you lose the residency status if I read the rule correctly.
Thank you for clarifying. I will keep your suggestions in mind as I modify my school list!Having siblings in New York does not help your chances for admission to a NY medical school. You could try U Wisconsin since you are currently living in Wisconsin. The 4% OOS interview rate for TCU understates your chances for an interview. Some applicants do not complete secondaries and some decline interviews. Your stats are very good so your chances for an interview at TCU are much higher than 4%.
