-I'm an Illinois resident
-Took a gap year, full time CNA (Long-term care for profoundly disabled children)
-The 4.0 is from a small/unimpressive state school
-509 MCAT is skewed (127 Chem/Phys, 126 Bio, 126 CARS, 130 Psych)
-B.A. in Bio and B.S in Psych
-Minored in Chem and Neuroscience
-2 summers of Chem research with one publication (Learned research is not for me!!)
-Excessive sorority leadership
-Lots of community service (Not in the health field though... working on it!)
-Limited shadowing, primarily a 2 week internship with one Doc & 40 hospital hours

What do you think? Any schools that are particularly low-yield or unfitting? Am I aiming to high or low? Or, any good matches I'm forgetting?

I've been sifting through MSAR and trying to do my homework, but it is all so overwhelming!

Open to any criticism or insight!
Thank you :)
