Hi everyone,

I am applying to medical schools this cycle and would love your input on what my school list should look like.

Background information:
516 MCAT (131, 128, 127, 130)
3.98 cGPA 3.96 sGPA
I am an Ohio resident, and have ties to VA and MN.
I am a reapplicant. I applied ridiculously late in the cycle last year, and I didn't make it past secondaries anywhere.
I applied to Albert Einstein, OSU, PennState, Wayne State, Wright State, Case western, Cincinnati, and Toledo.
I would like to apply to both MD and DO schools this year.

My ECs:
Paid Clinical - Medical scribe for 1 year, ~600 hours
Clinical Volunteering - Occupational therapy, ~110 hours
Shadowing - 1 MD and 1 PA, ~200 hours
Research - volunteered at a lab for a summer, no papers or experiments of my own so I don't know if this even counts, ~75 hours
Student group leadership - 2 asian cultural clubs, ~200-300 hours
Student group leadership - pre-health club that focused on volunteering opportunities, ~60 hours
Sports - lifelong volleyball player, some experience as a coach/captain, ~150 hours coaching

New for this year:
I just got a job as a PCNA, should have 200-300 hours by time of submission.

Also, I have a concern regarding prerequisites - my college degree only required 1 semester of biology, which I satisfied with AP Bio credits (I used AP credits for a lot of things, including BC Calc, Stats, and Psych). Therefore, I never took a general bio class in college. I don't know how in depth you go with making school lists, but I am worried about how my class history will affect where I can apply. I am very willing to take extra classes to make sure I can attend a medical school if I get accepted, but I am not knowledgeable in just how many classes I could feasibly take in time/if there are any limits to this.

If there's any other information I can provide please let me know!
Thank you so much for your time!
I was advised to tag @Faha and @Goro.

Don't apply so late this time. Include all your in-state schools, especially those you made networking connections with on your list, especially when it comes to your concerns on prerequisites and AP credits (you should have done this homework before applying)).

You're weak in nonclinical volunteering, and the lack of research may hurt at the research ******.
I suggest:


USF Morsani (maybe)
U IA
U ILL
U MA
Mt Sinai
Mayo (maybe)
Case and ALL other OH schools
NYU-LI
USC/Keck
Dartmouth
BU
Pitt
U WI
U CO
U VM
UCF
Miami
St. Louis
Albany
Albert Einstein
Rochester
Rush
Rosy Franklin
NYMC
EVMS
Wake Forest
Jefferson
Creighton
Tulane
Seton Hall
MCW
Loyola
Emory
Hofstra
Tufts
Oakland-B
Western MI
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Nova MD

As you're a reapplicant, for insurance add some DO schools if you don't get any love by November. Start list with CCOM, MUCOM, LECOM, WVSOM, MSUCOM KYCOM, and OHCOM
