Hey all, new here and looking to get some help on my school list. I've been seeing that the general consensus on here (with my stats) is to apply to ~15-20 schools. I'm looking to get some input on my current list and any new suggestions for schools OOS. Thanks!
- NY Resident
- Top 30 University
Major: Anthropology
GPA: 3.87
sGPA: 3.81
MCAT: 30 (only took it once)
My E/Cs are pretty straightforward:
- Two years research w/ anesthesia department and emergency department
- Hospital Volunteering (200 hr)
- Shadowing: Family med (~20 hr) and EM (~15 hr)
- Worked in private practice (family medicine) for a year
- Various other non-medical related work experience
- Volunteering/heavily involved at local food pantry (~3 yrs now)
Something different about me:
- I train Brazilian jiu-jitsu (blue belt ~2 yrs)
My letters are good (I know I have at least one extremely good one), and my PS is strong from what I've heard.
Here's my list so far:
Albany Medical College
Albert Einstein COM
NYMC
NYU
SUNY Downstate
SUNY Upstate
Rosalind Franklin
Drexel University
Penn State
Temple
Hofstra
SUNY Buffalo
Let me know what you think!
