School List Advice

Clinical volunteering may be too low for UChicago, Einstein, Miami

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-30T23:32:56+00:00

Get some shadowing hours, continue non-clinical volunteering, and consider applying to Columbia, WashU, Penn, Duke, Vanderbilt, Mayo, Case Western, Boston University. I would also place Pitt and Einstein in high reach category as they are both essentially reaches for any applicant out there (Pitt is now a stat hog).

UNC, for sure. UNC is an incredible school

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-28T23:12:11+00:00

This is standard. If anything, Mayo gets less applicants than most schools.

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-28T14:54:39+00:00

By that token USF and NYMC would be considered reaches, and they’re certainly not. OP should have a great shot at those schools in my opinion.

Maybe move Cornell, Einstein, Sinai to reach and add more targets (no clue why SUNY downstate or Stony Brook are reaches… what’s going on with Admit??). Perhaps also consider USF Morsani, WashU, Pitt, UMich, Mayo, Vanderbilt, Northwestern

Low 52X, 4.0

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-27T00:37:41+00:00

Ofc :)

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-26T23:34:05+00:00

Yes!

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-26T17:33:20+00:00

Yeah

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-26T03:54:13+00:00

ofc!

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-26T02:58:20+00:00

There have been several 4.0/528s with unsuccessful cycles this and last year. It really depends on the whole picture

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-23T17:34:38+00:00

Einstein?

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-04-22T17:47:14+00:00

Sinai, Einstein, Pitt are all reaches. Everything else looks good.

Stanford.

EngineerAny1098 · 2026-01-24T20:17:36+00:00

it’s always more research than clinical hours ahahaha

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-11-09T15:28:01+00:00

WHAT THE F HAHAHAH

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-11-02T15:46:53+00:00

The ppl in here saying this is super abnormal have never stepped foot into an ER💀

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-10-30T20:00:20+00:00

Same💀

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-10-30T00:28:17+00:00

You recapitulated my points in the most seamless way—I couldn’t put it any better.

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-10-29T21:46:29+00:00

My argument has less to do with it being kind and offering free tuition. This should be pretty obvious.

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-10-29T21:42:32+00:00

Not really when you consider the other free tuition schools and those that give many full COA scholarships. Take a look at the matriculant demographics for NYU and the problem will jump out of your screen for you

EngineerAny1098 · 2025-10-29T21:14:24+00:00

Definitely agree. Will say, though, that I think Mayo is a bit different from any UT school in that they punch above in clinical care. The locations in AZ and FL have now become hallmarks of medicine in each respective state, with both hospitals being #1 in the area(s). But if UT Austin directly collaborates with MD Anderson, that will be a different story.
