OK guys there are ton of new med schools that have either opened recently or are scheduled/planned to open soon.
I started this thread so we can keep it all in one place, and marvel as med schools become so numerous that we end up just like law schools. I'm going to include branch campus expansions as well as new med schools because a branch campus that expands 100 more slots is the same to me as a new med school.
