Your reach schools don't really seem like reaches in the sense that I could justify their presence on your standard list due to your high MCAT. AECOM and Case Western are Canadian friendly and would be good additions to your reach list.

thank you for the reply

I based my list on the MCAT breakdown from MSAR and my 8 in verbal seems to be lower than the 10th percentile for a lot of the schools

but I will definitely add AECOM and Western to the list

Leave out TCOM. You'd have to do a TMDSAS app to even apply there. You would be competitive but it is a whole seperate system (no grade replacement and $$$) and they don't pull from outside of Tx much.

I would leave out LECOM unless you are interested for geographical reasons. Consider adding DMU, CCOM, KCUMB on the DO side of things. Or anywhere you want really. You are very, very competitive statistically for DO programs.

thank you for the reply, I put in lecom and tcom because of their low tuition

DMU and KCUMB are great suggestions, thank you

Ahh tuition. Be careful with state schools like MSU and TCOM because you won't be paying their in-state rates.
