Remove Kansas, Neomed, Minnesota, and West Virginia. They take few OOS residents without ties (and will see you’re from NYC as opposed to a rural area). Miami is a reach. You can add Belmont when that school opens later this year.

You can subtract 50 hours from each of your scribe jobs and put them under shadowing.

Your DO list is good.

Sounds good I have removed all those schools from my list. Are there any other schools I should exclude that aren't really OOS friendly or too much of a reach? Any other schools you might suggest adding? Also in regard to shadowing can I group all of my shadowing into one submission or do I need to make a separate one for every single activity? In the ED scribe I also shadowed a lot of different providers so do I have to necessarily list the name of each physician or can I just say I shadowed a variety of doctors and what I learned? Thank you.

Keep the shadowing in 1 activity slot, it does not need to be separate for each setting or physician. Since it’s scribing, you could just say “shadowed Dr. X and various other physicians in the ED as part of my scribe job”.

The rest of the school list is fine with those removed. You could add Tulane and Georgetown. I would expect both MD and DO interview invites.

Great thanks chilly! Faha suggested Tulane and Georgetown also but I only excluded since I read Georgetown is very volunteer mission-based and Tulane has a quite a low amount of OOS interviews compared to OOS applications according to MSAR. Do you think Einstein and Rochester might also be worth applying to since they are in NY? Or not really since their mcat median is a bit higher and they are more research based?

Yes, Tulane and Georgetown are the schools that get the most apps every year. The volunteer hours are still good for Georgetown and they do like to see a lot of clinical experience.

Einstein is worth trying for a NYC resident. I wouldn’t do Rochester.

Hey all so finished up my school list and wondering how it is looking so far? I currently have over 30 med schools listed and for financial/timing reasons I wanted to limit it to max 30 (MD + DO). Wondering if there are any schools I should remove to trim it down a bit or anything else I should add to finalize the list? So far it is:

All four SUNY
NYMC
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Drexel
Temple
Tufts (too low yield?)
Penn state
George Washington
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
Creighton
Georgetown
SLU
Loyola
Rosalind Franklin
MC Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Einstein


DO:
NYITCOM
TouroCOM-Harlem
Rowan
PCOM
LECOM

See my edits above to keep it to 30.
