School List Help
Hey guys, I'm applying this upcoming cycle and really need help deciding on where to apply. The list I have is gigantic because I fear cutting a school I could possibly attend. If someone could help me cut down on my list, or perhaps give me some ideas on how I could cut down the list that'd be great.
Basic Information About Me
Graduated 2017
State/Race- California/Asian
GPA- ~3.7 cgpa/sgpa maybe around 3.71/3.72
MCAT- 512 130/128/127/127
Research- A lot, maybe 3000-4000 hours? Currently have one 2nd author, two more 2nd authors pending, and one 5th author. May be able to get a 1st author out by the time apps roll around but unlikely.
Volunteering- Standard hospital volunteering 100-200 hours in the ICU
Physician Shadowing- 40 hours total, 20 with an ophthalmologist and 20 with a pediatrician
Non Clinical Volunteering- 300-400 hours, mentoring high school kids and providing companionship chronically sick elderly people
Not sure what else to include but feel free to ask!
