Just want to know what my chances for acceptance are, as well as what my current school list looks like. Also what other schools should I add?
  1. 1. cGPA = 3.867; sGPA = ~3.8 (differs between application systems since some of my kinesiology courses don't count towards BCPM for certain systems).
  2. MCAT (pretty upset): 503 (128/123/127/125)
[*]NM resident.
[*]URM (Hispanic).
[*]Degree in Kinesiology (Exercise Science) with a minor in Biochemistry from New Mexico State University.
[*]Clinical Experience (Medical) = >1000 hours (shadowing, internships, medical scribe).
[*]Research Experience: no formal research, but volunteered as data collector in lab for 2 semesters (~50 hours).
[*]Shadowing Experience (hours from clinical): 500 hours.
[*]Non-clinical Volunteering = 200 hours (senior home, tutoring/unofficial premed adviser, pen pal for local middle school students).
[*]No significantly great ECs (dog training and soap making).
[*]Relevant Honors = Dean's Honors List multiple semesters, and graduated with honors.
[*]Other relevant stats: 500+ hours as paid emergency department scribe.
[*]School list as of now (I know it is a little top heavy at the moment, but who knows, maybe I can somehow score significantly higher than expected).
  • Allopathic
    • UNM
    • Arizona (both campuses)
    • Columbia (this is both my dream and throwaway school)
    • Tufts
    • Geisel
    • UTRVG
    • Osteopathic
      • Burrell
      • Lake Erie (Pennsylvania campus)
      • Edward Via (Virginia campus)
      • Lincoln Memorial Debusk (Tennessee campus)
      • A.T. Still (both campuses)
      • Michigan State
      • Ohio Heritage
Again, I know that some of these schools may be out of reach with my stats and projected MCAT score, but that is why I posted this here - to see what school selection advice this community had to offer, along with what you guys think of my chances of matriculation this first application cycle.

Thanks to anyone who helps!
