MD 3.85 sGPA and 34 MCAT reapplicant

[SP30]

Hello,

I applied last year but received no acceptances. I believe this was due to my primary being verified in late October, applying to a narrow range of schools, and being generally naïve about the application process. This year I will be ready to submit on day one and now have a better understanding of the process. I would like some input regarding my list of schools. I want to include enough safe schools while also taking a couple chances.

I think you can also add a couple more reaches! Like Dartmouth, Pitt, Emory, Vanderbilt, NYU

To which of these are you a re-applicant (asterisk)? Are you a resident of ND or Native American? Significant research?

Post is edited to show which schools I will be a re-applicant. MN resident. No significant research besides assisting with the research of others.

Then, delete Mayo and ND. Consider Tulane, Einstein, Jefferson..
