The only pre-reqs I have left are Chem and Physics because they expired. I live in NYC so I'm still applying to SUNY Downstate and Stonybrook, even though they're long shots, and possibly NYIT and weekend programs such as Philly U and Misercordia (also long shots probably). Depending on what the accreditation status looks like in the fall: York and possibly Kean. I'm basically trying to narrow down schools on the east half of the country that look at the last 60 credits or seem less crazy competitive despite a 3.0 min gpa requirement. Also applying for every school in NY state that I have all the prereqs for and that I can afford. Still narrowing it down though. I hear that OTCAS schools are flooded with applicants due to their centralized system, so they tend to be more difficult to get into.
