Hello fellow SDN people!

Thanks in advance for any advice, especially from those who have come from similar situations to mine. I have a school list and want to get some feedback on it.

Overview of me:

My GPA and sGPA are between 3.45 and 3.5. My MCAT is 35 (12PS, 12 BS, 11V).

I started off college as a theater/acting major and switched over as a sophomore...I had a band for 2.5 years in college. We performed all over NYC, and released some recordings too.

I have published a healthcare economics paper as the sole author and have published an abstract (with presentation) about an environmental science topic (this was my major). I've got about 6 months of lab research, both at prestigious medical schools. I am a full time professional EMT, and have been working in EMS for about a year now. I have a good amount of volunteer time under my belt, and have shadowed doctors in many specialties. I have some pretty cool internships under my belt, including paid work at Doctors Without Borders. I'm going on a medical mission trip to Haiti in two weeks!

I have a letter from a chem prof, one from my senior project advisor (6 month research experience with presentation), one from a manager at my ambulance company, one from a global health professor, and one from a DO for my DO programs. I expect all letters to be good. I went to college in NYC, but am a Massachusetts resident now.

1. University of Negev
2. New York Institute of Technology (DO)
3. Touro, NYC (DO)
4. University of New England (DO)
5. Uniformed Services
6. Quinnipiac
7. New York Medical College
8. Albany Medical College
9. Hofstra (I have a connection)
10. SUNY Stony Brook (my dad's alma mater)
11. Jefferson Medical College
12. Drexel
13. SUNY Downstate
14. Tufts
15. Tulane
16. George Washington
17. UMass
18. Rosalind Franklin
19. University of Vermont
20. Mt. Sinai (I have a connection)
21. NYU (my alma mater)
22. Boston University (I have a connection)
23. Georgetown
24. Brown (my dad did his residency here)
25. Einstein
26. Columbia or Cornell

what do you think, overall? Too top-heavy?

Thanks so much for the help.

best,
