You are highly competitive at any school you apply to. Why you would ask for advice is beyond me...you're welcome for the apparently needed ego boost

UWashington is not friendly to OOSers outside of the WWAMI region, unless they are MD/PhD applicants. I'd suggest adding some more top twenties known to be generous with scholarship money, like UChicago, Case, Mayo, . . .

I was just wondering what schools are good for out of state people?

Thank you for the advice. What other schools are generous?

MSAR is your friend.

Unless you've murdered someone you really have absolutely nothing to be worried about in terms of garnering an acceptance.

You shouldn't have a problem snagging a nice merit scholarship from a top tier school like Catalystik mentioned, so shop around and see what schools have to offer.

I'd add USC as your safety.

I'm really happy for the OP. S/he's a very bright person and has a shot at ANY medical school.

Haha thanks. Btw what's OP?

I really love UCSF and have been dreaming of it since forever, but I haven't been looking at other schools so I don't really have a list of schools.

Yes. And anyone who says they aren't either has similar stats, or is a liar

OP= overpowered. You are too competitive of an applicant so that might be an issue.

Orangutan penis. Ovary puss. Ornery panda. Oddly-shaped pickle. Orifice probe. Original poster.

OP in that context means "original poster", or the one that created the topic, lol.
