what is your verbal?

 

[Minty_Panda]

I got a 7

that's not too bad. you'll have to do your research on which schools auto-screen below 8

you can start by removing meharry/howard/morehouse (HBCUs), mercer (IS bias), and loma linda (if you're not very religious)

get the MSAR and find some out-of-state private schools!

Delete NM too.
UMKC takes most of its OOS matriculants from its special programs.
FL State only matriculated 3 out of about 3K OOS applicants! Methinks you haven't looked at the MSAR yet.

This may be a very dumb question, how do I find out whether a school does auto-screen?

Thanks for the advice! I did look at MSAR, but I was too focus on their MCAT numbers, and didn't look at anything else. I will do little more research on each school.

some schools will have it on their websites, others you will have to call.
