Hello,
I'm planning on reapplying this cycle, and I would like some feedback on my current school list given my stats. I'm not the strongest applicant, but I have made significant improvements since my last app in 2021. I've been having a hard time finding shadowing opportunities but I am still looking!
Current School List: I know many of these are reaches, but I am hoping to cast a wide net in hopes of getting accepted somewhere. Any schools you would advise adding or taking out?
