Looking for honest feedback on my school list, including any current schools that are likely donations and any schools worth adding. Born in Virginia, lived my entire life in Wisconsin. First generation ORM. Double major in Business Management and Neurobiology at a top 10 public university. Graduated December, 2022.
MCAT: 519 (129 C/P, 131 CARS, 128 B/B, 131 P/S)
cGPA: 3.65, sGPA: 3.58, moderate upward trend.
Activities:
Paid clinical: ~1,300 hours, half coming from clinical research in an emergency department (current position, will continue until med school), half coming from CNA-type work at a behavioral health hospital.
Paid non-clinical: ~200 hours working as a student admin assistant in my university's department of emergency medicine.
Research: ~450 hours in a neurobiology lab (no posters or publications, worked under a PhD student the entire time - did not design experiments myself).
Shadowing: 155 hours total including psychiatry, ortho, vascular, urology, emergency medicine.
Extracurriculars/leadership: 2 years on the board of a pre-medical organization (including executive board in the second year) that I was a 4-year active member in, conducted a consulting project with a nationally respected medical diagnostics company while in undergrad.

Non-clinical volunteering: 150 hours with a local organization that provides social support to formerly incarcerated individuals (pre-covid). 60 hours volunteering for a local film festival.
Hobbies: I've had a film review blog since 2020, I played 3 intramural sports in college and currently play 2 sports in community leagues.
