Not sure I would recommend shortening this list. You have the right stats and ECs for dual Undergrad/MD programs. It would probably be a good idea to have your ECs even more focused on the medical field. Have you had a chance to shadow a surgeon? Acceptance rate for programs like Brown/PLME are incredibly low. If you can speak to one of the students admitted to these dual programs to find out why they were admitted and what the program is like it’d be a good idea
you sound like you have the right stats - just work on your essays and create a balanced senior year course load
thanks everybody! ill try to shadow a physician this summer
