With an MCAT of 35/ 3.6 GPA, your LizzyM score is 72. [MCAT score + (cGPA X 10)] + 1. School scores omit the +1. This is a tool we use to help us decide what schools are likely to offer an interview. It is fine to add a few reach schools (aka Dream Schools) and a good idea to add some safety schools.

Besides applying to any appropriate state or regional schools, consider researching some of these schools to see if their mission, weather, safety, curriculum, proximity to home, and cost match what you're looking for. It is important for the schools you pick to be a good fit for you on many levels, aside from stats. Some state schools prefer you to have state ties if OOS. (%)=% OOSers matriculating.

73/Mayo (69%), Case (80%), UVirginia (41%), UTSW (16%),
72/Emory (65%), Dartmouth (85%), NYU (60%), Ohio State (41%), UCSF (20%)
71/UCF (24%), USC (28%), Boston (77%), Tufts (73%), SLU (70%), Einstein (52%), Rochester (52%),
70/Colorado (25%), UConn (17%), Georgetown (98%), Miami (26%), Iowa (35%), Maryland (23%), UMinn (21%), Stony Brook (15%), Wake (59%), Cincinnati (34%), Penn (51%).
