Nice list! If you want to delete a few: GW, GT, NY med or Tulane.

Thank you for the input! I have already applied to GW and NYMC but I have the fee waiver so at least I didn't waste any money. I think I will withdraw my application from Tulane but still give GT a try because I really do like that school. Would you suggest that I add more schools to increase my chances?

May I ask why deleting NY?
