Any Schools I should add?

Undergrad GPA: 3.9

Science GPA: 4.0

MCAT: Receiving results June 9, but I took 3 full length practice tests from aamc and got 506, 512, 511, so I'm expecting 510-513 range on the real thing.

PA resident.

Clinical Hours -

8000+ hours full time patient transporter.

700+ hours monitor tech (trained to read monitors and transport patients without nurse), I expect to have 1000+ more hours of this when I quit before med school if I matriculate.

I am also currently studying for the group leader test to have experience in leadership (i was already in a leadership role at a non-medical facility but I will not be including that in my application as its not super important to medical school.)

I'm nontrad, graduated in May '21. Got a bachelor of arts in psychology. Decided I wanted to be a doctor instead. Spent the next couple years getting science courses from a community college. Due to these circumstances I don't have research or shadowing hours, but I have reached out to a doctor on the college side of the hospital I work at to see if I can get any research opportunities. I will also try to see if I can shadow a doc but transport doesn't really interact much with the doctors and I don't know a great deal of them.

I'm interested in OB/GYN.

My current list has 15 schools. I know I will not be good enough for most of them, but I'd regret it if I didn’t try.

All 7 schools in PA

Every school in NYC

Johns Hopkins (just cause its one of the best in country but I won't get in without research lol)

UCLA (for a kinda wildcard one)

I am open to any suggestions! Also please let me know if you have any other questions or if I left anything important out!

May 9th Test

Chem/Phys kicked my ass yall. I feel decent about all other sections, plus finished with time remaining but I'm so scared of the C/P section... I'm aiming for 512-517 or so, so I'm hoping my performance on the other sections makes up for it but omg that SUCKED 😩
