While I understand why you're applying with your move to Chicago, you are likely to be yield-protected out of Loyola and RFUMS/Chicago Med.

I would search for "Music and Medicine" niche programs. Add

Music & Medicine | Weill Cornell Medicine

music.weill.cornell.edu

Totally understand about yield protection, but I think I'm still going to shoot my shot there. Staying in Chicago would make life much easier for personal reasons. How do you feel about Rush?

I didn't know about the Music and Medicine programs, I'll be on the lookout for those!

Rush and Loyola usually expect hundreds of service orientation activities hours when it comes to non-clinical volunteering.

Gotcha. I think I'll still apply because of the location, but I won't expect much there. Thanks for your advice!

If your gap year involves a significant Americorps influence, you can change my mind, though not until you have done 1 year of the program.

UNC and UCSD admit few non residents with no connection to the state. Schools such as Loyola, Rush, Rosalind Franklin, Penn State, Medical College Wisconsin may "yield protect" with your stats.

Good to know! I'll take UNC, UCSD, Penn State, and Medical College of Wisconsin off the list. I will plan on shooting my shot at Loyola, Rush, and Rosalind Franklin due to location, though

Thank you for the response! I really hope you're right about Wash U, that's been a dream school of mine for years now. Just curious - why delete Kaiser?

 

[gyngyn]

Why delete Kaiser?

I didn't see anything that they are looking for in your ap, plus only 50 seats and they didn't take anyone from your state last year...
Do they even have Kaiser in MO?

No, they don't have Kaiser in Missouri as far as I'm aware. I'll definitely consider taking it off my list

They want to educate Kaiser docs. There's nothing wrong with that, but you just don't fit the bill.

I'm updating my school lists based upon the newest MSAR. Am really surprised to see that >1/3rd of all MD schools now have median MCAT scores for acceptees in the top 10th %iles. Hence, you're good for many!

My mods to your list above
