....Welcome to the forums.
Experience details are essential for us to gauge your chances. Tell us more about the hours of experience.
.....Hm, your application appears at least to have a strong focus what with being personally low income, research on health disparities, and volunteering with underserved. As long as you have a strong narrative and a well written application, you may fair well with MD. That being said, I would recommend applying to a handful of DO schools just in case. Maybe 20-25 MD and 5-10 DO.
I don't know who "they" are, but I understand. There are ways to discuss without self identifying. Specific duties are pro forma and are generally not self-identifying. (I read to residents didn't reveal anything.)I was trying to be vague because they doxx students now
All HBCU program sounds be in play, and I suspect service-oriented schools would be interested if they have metrics that are within reach.My clinical hours are being a PCT at a nursing home, I volunteer at a women's domestic violence shelter and a non profit helping refugee women, my leadership roles are about inclusion for minority and low income students, and my research is health disparities, and my awards are for helping refugees in my community. I do not have an MD or DO letter of recommendation if that helps.
Im not sure what other information to add. But my activities are really centered around helping refugees and advocacy for minority/low income students. I have a strong LORs supporting my volunteer work and passion for helping underserved communities and I have received a state and university award for this. My research poster was about advocating for more minorities in research studies (for a certain disease) placed #1 at a conference and my other 2 posters are related to health disparities. I was heavily involved on campus and did tons of DEI initiatives. I am PCT at a low income nursing home, so I have tons to write about.I don't know who "they" are, but I understand.

Understand the concept of GIGO... the quality of advice you get depends on the info you give.

You asked about holistic review processes, and we have some programs that would likely match if you have us more informative about what you are willing to share about yourself. In that case, I understand not wanting to docx.
Hm, you could start with MSAR and narrow to the 10th percentile for your MCAT score then check their interview % and matriculation % for OOS and sort by descending order. Also look at total # of applicants, then consider removing the "popular" schools that get quoted on every school list on sdn/reddit. With a focused app, I actual wouldn't worry too much about your stats. You may be the type of applicant that schools are willing to take a chance on. I would consider Charles Drew, a few Texas UTs, Kentucky, EVMS, Drexel (I'm actually not a fan of this school but an acceptance is an acceptance), etc. You can DM me for moreCan I have help with a list of out of state friendly schools? My stats are not the best, so I'm not sure where I will have a solid chance with holistic review
Check your lists against some of these lists that offer opportunities to work with refugee health care clinics.Im not sure what other information to add.

I hope this helps!
I studied while being a full time student, so I want to apply with a score that I know I gave my full attention to. I have tons of EC (more than whats allowed to be listed), but I think a full time clinical job will make me more confident in my app.I don't think you need to do a postbac.
If you don't feel personally ready to apply right now, take the year to feel more prepared and add to your experiences. Only take your MCAT again if you are scoring substantially higher on practice tests.
I'm going to merge this question with your previous WAMC thread to keep the details & replies in one place
