Hey everyone,
I'm planning to apply to 15-20 schools this upcoming cycle. I was just wondering what my chances might be at my top 3 schools. It would be great if anyone can give me some advice as to how I can improve my chances or what schools to consider/drop. I know I don't have any research experience but I'm hoping that some of my other ECs can cancel that out . Here's a list of the schools and my ECs/Stats:

- Mount Sinai
- NYU
Rest of the Schools (So far)
