Hi, all!
Just wanted to get some additional input with regard to a school list... I have consulted with an advisor and pulled this list together, but would really appreciate further recommendations from some of the AdComs on here on which (if any) to add or remove.
For background purposes: as I said in the title, I'm a re-applicant. I took the old MCAT a couple of times and scored in the 27-29 range, but always felt I was capable of a 33ish - and I seem to have gotten my wish with this new exam haha. It's a pretty balanced 514, with section scores ranging from 127-130. I have pretty solid ECs with one 3rd-author publication, am presenting an abstract (1st author) at a major conference this fall, and will likely have at least one more manuscript within the next year. I've been working in a clinical research position (with tons of patient interaction) at a major hospital for the past two years and will stay with them until matriculation. And my science GPA would be much higher had I not struggled with two classes for my initial major during my freshman year. >> Nothing lower than a C, though.
