Got a 511 on my MCAT 129/125/129/128, My CARS section was my weakest by far but I can't help it. Have a four years of research in psychology, a summer at NIH, and lab research for 9 months. Volunteering at church as a teacher for the past 4 years and a relief organization for the past year and a half. Leadership in sports club and RA. What schools should I apply to and what are my chances?

Maryland and yes but I wanted to see what other people thought.

Having a few reaches (Baylor, Hopkins) is ok, but it would be wise to add some schools from Goro's list that are within your stats range: Rosalind Franklin, MCW, Creighton, St Louis type of schools.

GW, Georgetown, Jefferson get a lot of apps
Brown takes a large portion from their undergrad
Darthmouth likes non-trads with unique backgrounds.

I would replace some of these with schools from Goro's list
