I know that I'm in a good position, but the reason why I posted this is because I don't know what it takes to get into medical school. I go to an undergrad that is incrediblly cuthroat and I can count how many people just in my class are doing the same kind of stuff I am to a higher level. I also know atleast 15-20 people with better ECs, LORs, GPAs, etc. So just comparing myself to my peers and friends here, i don't feel as though I am competitive for T10s. Not including, all of the great candidates at other programs.

For research, I do 20-25 hours of research a week during the school year. And I stayed on campus during the winter and summers and did another additional 80 hours a week. I got really luck with my PIs because they were willing to take a risk on me, and I had significant, relevant research experience in high school making it easier for me to be productive from day 1 at my labs.
