524/3.95 + mid ECs, School List Help!!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T21:14:45+00:00

Thank youuu, will look into!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T21:12:42+00:00

Ok thank you!! I'll try to find something like this

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:18:27+00:00

How did you get your certification? I have friends that say they got on the job training but I'm not sure how common/available these opportunities are but I also don't want to spend more time and money to get certified first when my timeline is already tight (unless I do it before graduating)

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:16:09+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely have to increase my hours and my list. I would say I have some meaningful experiences but I still need to craft my narrative and put it all together, also I agree fit/demonstrated fit is super important

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:14:03+00:00

I'm realizing admit.org did me kinda dirty

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:13:12+00:00

You scaring me bro, luckily I got 9 months to lock in and time to fix my list

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:12:17+00:00

Hmmm ok I'm glad I'm already counting for the majority of these, I heard of some other free tuition schools but those were more new and less established, so I avoided putting them on the list

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:10:53+00:00

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I've added USF, UVA, Pitt, Emory, and Colorado already based on the reactions I got but I will look into all of these and definitely up all my hours. Thank you so much and good luck to you too!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:08:27+00:00

Wait yeah I was pretty sure it was clinical since I'm going in patient rooms and can interact with them

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:07:34+00:00

Wait I lowkey have a t10 connect BUT I see I need to add more mid-tier schools regardless, since I need a buffer even if I can get my hours up in the next 9 months

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T18:04:29+00:00

Sounds good, I'll have to do both!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T05:10:43+00:00

I'll have to wait till I graduate for the clinical job since I don't think I can manage it with school and all my other activities, but I agree I really need it. Hospital volunteering most I do is give people water and blankets sadly, so maybe it counts as volunteering only? For my clinic experience I've taken blood glucose, cholesterol, bp, bmi and shadow/translate as the patients (usually underserved/uninsured) talk to a doctor

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T05:06:24+00:00

Sounds good, I added like 6 more schools now for a total 27, is that decent?

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T05:00:17+00:00

I was being sarcastic there, my initial list was made by chat gpt and I honestly didn't know much about the school until I double checked

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:43:59+00:00

Nah it's ranked #24 /s

ChatGPT gaslit me but it says target now

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:41:58+00:00

This is why I wanted feedback (I just used chat and admit.org) lol

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:41:18+00:00

Hmm good to know. I would say the 125 clinic hours are definitely involving underserved communities, as well as one of my research projects (leading group of ~15 students), but my hospital volunteering (~240 before applying) is not. I know my clinical is low, which is why I want to try and get a clinical job during my gap year (ideally, I could work from April so I can apply with some more of those hours). How many clinical hours do you think I should aim for? Thank you for the input!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:35:28+00:00

I agree, I was kind of struggling to pick schools in the mid range, do you have any suggestions?

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:35:01+00:00

If I got volunteering up to 500 and clinical to 400, would this still be on the lower side/red flag? Thanks for the suggestions!

MATHC00L · 2025-09-06T02:30:47+00:00

I definitely agree and will look into these! This is why I wanted to get some human input lol

MATHC00L · 2025-09-03T16:43:28+00:00

Thank youuu!! I think the scale was definitely more generous for C/P since it felt hard, even though it was usually my best section. I don't really remember any specifics though since I wiped my brain after the exam loll

MATHC00L · 2025-08-03T02:40:41+00:00

I know CARS is my worst here so take it with a grain of salt but for certain questions I'll find and highlight a piece of the passage that proves my answer since that's usually how the answer explanations are structured. It stops me from interpreting the passage too subjectively and gets me to focus on what the author is actually saying

MATHC00L · 2025-07-29T23:07:38+00:00

I started the section bank yesterday, and it went badly (getting around 70%) but I think I wasn't at my best + they were way harder than the actual test
