Carle Illinois College of Medicine (Champaign-Urbana) is newly listed on the LCME Candidate & Applicant Programs list and it's rumored they'd like to seat their first class in fall 2018. It will an innovation-focused school, not supported by state tax dollars, so without a bias toward in-staters.Any new private schools that open in 2018 (Seton Hall, Henricopolis, etc.)
These are schools I suggest with your stats:
Quinnipiac
Vermont

If you could retain your Iowa residency it would greatly help your chances.

While the Wikipedia article about the school emphasizes an engineering focus, I recall reading that other medically-related innovations will be fostered as well (related to computer science, mathematical modeling, etc). Since the founding dean hasn't begun work yet, the school's emphasis may continue to evolve. So, stay tuned. If you can make a case for having innovative ideas related to medicine, you might have an "In" even if you don't have a engineering degree.Would it be dumb to apply to this new school if you didn't major in engineering or have other engineering type experiences?
