As someone who got into a few T20 schools last cycle, Flag of the United States EMT Shirt. this seems like an excessively strict list of minimums. I had very strong stats and a lot of time doing research, but otherwise no pubs, ~40 hours total volunteer time, and well below your clinical exposure cutoff. (Not URM also). It’s definitely doable without this resume. I knew this comment was coming but somehow it always happens whenever someone gives advice about top schools lol. Note that I said it’s a general rule because of course people get in without those bare minimums!

What does EMT mean?
Your case (very strong stats with excellent research) isn’t unusual, but it’s certainly not the norm either. The Core ECs (changed the term from bare minimum) I wrote is a general rule of thumb for an applicant who will as definitely as you can say with top schools get into somewhere in the T-20. That’s not to say that it’s a list of minimums as I went on to explain in depth later in the post. They are “bare minimums,” not actual minimums, so sorry I wasn’t clear. Seconding this. If you choose not to go into residency, Stanford is not as against the idea compared to other schools but it’s still a pretty small percentage in comparison to the number that goes into residency. Also, a friend of mine ended up doing a research year (which if I’m not mistaken, is funded by Stanford too and available for everyone if so desired) as well as an MBA. A research year (esp if the school is offering it paid) is common for Stanford med students.
