Isn't BU more keen towards instate apps? and doesn't GW get like a trillion apps? Would I be wasting an application on them? My undergrad school only allows you to send composite letters to 15 schools.You could add Hofstra, Boston University, GW . Also Seton Hall if it opens in 2017. You may want to add a few DO schools if you are unable to travel further for interviews.

BU only gives some instate preference, no more than Tufts. GW receives a lot of applications but many do not submit the secondary and they also interview well over 1,000 applicants. Yale is a much bigger waste of an application.
I already applied to all of said schools with the exception of Tufts. I withdrew my apps in early September with no rejections (unhappy with MCAT score). Yale was more of a joke, I don't think I'm going to apply there.. I'm also trying to apply to places where I could reasonably drive to an interview. I live in CT, so I think Chicago/FL would be the furthest I was willing to drive for that. What do you think of this list:
(underlined schools mean I would be considered a re-appliant)
-"Safeties"-
NYMC
Albany
GW
Drexel
Quinnipiac
Rosalind Franklin vs. Wright State? <-- appreciate opinion on both schools
-Iffy Range-
UConn
Penn State
Georgetown
UVM
Jefferson
Temple
Virginia Commonwealth
Loyola vs Rush vs Wake Forest? <-- appreciate opinion on these schools. (~800 hours research [2 poster presentations 1st auth no pubs], ~200 hours clinical volunteer, ~1400 hours clinical employed.. continuing clinical volunteer (~12hrs/week) and employment into app cycle and currently looking for clinical research job)
-Reaches-
Tufts
Dartmouth vs. Brown vs. UMiami <--- unsure which to chose.. I am technically a nontrad (23, will be 24 for matriculation but not sure if that is nontrad enough for Dartmouth. I also heard they like "quirky" applicants, and I am very into hiking all around the US and plan to put it on my AMCAS as a EC experience. I like the idea of the rural school where I could easily go kayaking/hiking to wind down (very outdoorsy). However I think I would have a better chance at Brown or UMiami)
