School List! (pls help)

[hifromvenus]

Hi, I've been struggling with my school list. For reference my stats are:

MCAT: 510, GPA: 3.63 sGPA 3.5

2000+ research hours and 2 presentations, 2000+ nonclinical volunteer hours, 250 clinical volunteer hours, 50 hrs shadowing, 6 LOR's, for leadership I started a dance team and I TA'd for a bio class. I also consistently worked 2 jobs throughout college. I'm an URM (black woman) from SoCal and come from an underserved community. I would like to go to a school that emphasizes research and preferably in an urban community bc my PS focused on that. (I'm graduating college next month so I am going to work as a medical scribe during my gap year to increase clinical hours)

1. Albert Einstein
2. Eastern Virginia School of Medicine
3. Emory
4. George Washington
5. Howard
6. Kaiser
7. USC
8. Cornell (major reach tbh)
9. Temple
10. New York Medical College
11. Penn State
12. Robert Larner University of Vermont
13. RUSH
14. Jefferson
15. Tufts
16. UC Davis
17. UC Irvine
18. UCSD (alma mater)
19. UCSF (reaching for the stars here)
20. Ohio State
21. University of Illinois
22. University of Michigan
23. University of Pittsburgh
24. Wake Forest
25. Virginia Commonwealth

Are there any schools you all recommend I add or remove? I am open to all critiques and opinions, thanks!

Rush is looking for more clinical hours than you have. Illinois has very expensive non resident tuition.
You could add any of these schools:
Miami
Georgetown
Boston University
Brown
Dartmouth
Northwestern
St. Louis

 

[EmbryonalCarcinoma]

Add UCLA, Drew, Stanford, UCR

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Check out all the PRIME programs offered at the UC medical schools. Definitely add Drew and all other HBCU programs.

I suggest the following:

Add UCLA, Drew, Stanford, UCR

And Meharry + Morehouse.

Delete UCD and UCI. ADD UCR if you're from the Inland Empire.,
Aslo add U Miami, IU and NYU.LI

You can do better than Penn State
