This is kinda just a preliminary list I have put together based mainly on stats and location. Please let me know what you think and whether there's any schools that really don't belong, and if there's any other schools not listed that you think I should really add. I know there's more schools on this list than I'll actually want to apply to, but this is kinda a starting point. Thanks!
From Northern CA, graduated from UCSB w/ BS in Biopsychology
cGPA 3.74 sGPA 3.64 (this is including biological major classes, not behavioral classes, w/o major classes sGPA is 3.54). I had a very strong upward grade trend with 3.5ish freshman year and 3.8ish the rest of the time through college.
MCAT: 513-128/127/127/131
Research: About 200 hrs as research assistant in behavioral endocrinology lab
Clinical shadowing: 72 hours of interning at dermatology practice, 19 hours of shadowing orthopedic surgeon in clinic and 7 hrs in OR. 400 hours of clinical and surgical shadowing in a variety of hospitals and clinics in Northern India
Volunteering: My weakest area. I'm currently trying to get involved with a local non-profit that takes schoolchildren out on after-school outdoors trips. Also, the college outdoor club that I am part of does a good amount of volunteer work, including trail maintenance, beach cleanup, and putting on community events.
Extracurriculars: Volunteer trip leader for outdoor club at college including being on board of directors (4 years of involvement). Was a student with NOLS (national outdoor leadership school) in northern india, rural homestay, learning whitewater rafting guiding skills, 42 days backpacking in himalayas.
Employment: Camp counselor for two summers, outdoor adventure/ocean kayak guide, scribe/MA at primary care practice (so far 1100 hrs, lots of patient interaction such as taking vitals, giving shots, running EKGs, ear lavages, etc)
