MCAT: 513
GPA: cGPA 3.65, sGPA 3.55
Of note:
I’m a transfer student; CA resident. Straight A’s in organic chem (1&2) and biology (1&2) at my CC. Also got B’s in Physics (1&2). One A and one B in gen chem series. BUT i got 3 C’s (precalc, calc 1&2). A in stats at CC. Transferred to UC Davis, straight A’s so far (physiology, biochem, cell biology, immunology, applied stats, genetics, and probably will continue to get straight A’s, i think UC Davis is a cakewalk).

Extra-curricular: While I was in community college and got my C’s, I was working full-time.

So since I started college I was a full-time Emergency Department Technician (EMT certified, phlebotomy certified, ACLS, PALS, BLS certified; all together ~2,500 hours as ER Tech, extremely hands-on).

I also was CPR instructor for 6 of those months on top of ER tech (~300 hrs).

Volunteered at hospital for 610 hours

Part of Big Brother Big Sisters (i was a “Big” for a 9 year old from a disadvantaged family) for 80 hours.

315 hours of research, submitted for publication

80 hours UCI Summer Pre-Medical Program, Mentor to high school students

I’ve done about 20 hours of volunteering with homeless people (food serving)

Shadowing: 60 hours abroad, 40 hours in US

And currently im working at UC Davis Medical Center 24 hours a week in the Burn ICU (also very hands-on, so still racking up hours)

At my CC I also mentored an international student for a year, and I was the secretary of our pre-health club for a year

You need to get the MSAR and use it! Many of the schools on your list are state schools that are not friendly to OOS.

Dang I really liked the state schools... thank you so much! I will check it out and look closer
 
Your school list is not realistic with your stats. You have many state public schools on your list that accept very few non residents with no connection to the state and your stats. I suggest these schools:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Tufts
Boston University
Albany
New York Medical College
Hofstra
Einstein
Seton Hall
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Georgetown
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
NOVA MD
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Rush
St. Louis
Creighton
Tulane
TCU-UNTHSC
California University
Kaiser
UC Davis
UC Irvine
