Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice on my current school list and which schools I should be applying for. I am open to both MD and DO. I am currently in an SMP which I started immediately after undergrad, so I did not have a significant gap between my bachelors and my masters.
These are my stats:
3.5 cGPA (upward trend)
3.51 sGPA
4.0 SMP (final course is a P/F)
512 MCAT -> 129/123/129/131
A.A. in Preclinical Mental Health, graduated with honors
B.S. in Psychology (biopsychology specialization), graduated Magna Cum Laude
M.S. in Medical Physiology (2 year program)
MD resident, born in NJ (lived there for ~10 years)
Experiences:
~1000 hours clinical experience, between MA in cardiology and IM, as well as ABA Behavior Technician (very passionate for autism care and will be a significant part of PS)
~60 hours research - no pubs
~125 hours volunteering (100 nonclinical, 25 clinical in hospital) - also currently still working on this and could be about 125-150 nonclinical by application submission.
~1500 hours hobbies - Weightlifting (unsure if this should be added but it is something very important to me and an inspiration for studying exercise physiology)
LoRs:
2 MD physicians
2 Professors (one in psychology, one in genetics)
1 Committee letter from the med school of my SMP
I am still learning which schools would prefer my stats and would love to know which schools that would focus more on my deficiencies (like research hours or CARS) to avoid.
School list (MD):
UMD - IS
BU
Rowan
Drexel
GW
Georgetown
Hackensack Meridian
Wisconsin
OSU
Rutgers and Robert Wood Johnson
UMass Chan
UMiami
UVA
VCU
VT
Wake Forest
Wayne State
School list (DO):
Rowan-Virtua
NSU-KPCOM
KCUCOM
Touro Harlem
I really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!!
