I am (maybe) applying this year to medical school, and I'm just curious as to how I can apply broadly and what schools to pick.

General Info:

ORM
Major: Psychology
cGPA: 3.4
sGPA: 3.1
Residence: WA
Postbac: 3.98

Quick Extra-curriculars:
Research- Pain management (longest commitment from beginning of school), I have one publication on the way

Leadership- opportunity I started for support groups for minority health and education (2nd longest commitment)

Clinical volunteering (hospital) and general volunteering (health education/literacy)

Clinical Job as a CRC/MA-R and past job in health advocacy on campus

D.O and M.D. schools are welcome! I got MSAR, and I know my state schools but... where to start?

You cannot create a realistic school list until you have an actual MCAT score. Post your score here when available.

I took classes like genetics, bioinformatics, microbiology, immunology, and a whole lot of biotechnology classes. I can wait on the MCAT score if it helps.

We can't help you with hypotheticals.

Post MCAT score once you have and and I'll be happy to suggest a list.

Okay... then let's see how you did on the MCAT. Looks like you took closer to 20-25 hours of biomedical science courses?
 
I got a 508- 126/124/128/130... I'm wondering if I'll even be competitive for M.D/D.O. though it would be nice to know a list of schools.

You are competitive for most DO schools and I suggest these:
PNWU-COM
AZCOM
TUNCOM
UIWSOM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
ACOM
WCU-COM
WVSOM
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
Touro-NY
NYITCOM (all schools)
LMU-DCOM (all schools)
BCOM (all schools)
For MD schools you could try U Washington and Washington State and consider these:
Belmont
TCU
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
NOVA MD
Eastern Virginia
Drexel
Temple
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)
