Hello, this is my first post to SDN and I was hoping to get some advice on my chances of getting accepted into medical school and to what schools in particular. I just graduated from the Masters of Biomedical Science program at Rutgers GSBS - Newark. I have been a resident of New Jersey for 15 years but was born in California and now moving in with my parents in San Diego. The schools I am applying to are FIU, UMiami, UC Riverside, NJMS, Cooper, UC Davis and UC Irvine. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions on where else to apply. Thank you very much.
