I recently had to remove a few target schools from my list because they do not accept AP for their stats pre-requisite. Would really appreciate some help picking out 2-3 more schools to replace them so I can apply as broadly as possible. 516 MCAT and 3.98 GPA/sGPA, MA resident. Thanks in advance!

Removed schools: Oakland, Creighton, UNC Chapel Hill (reach)

Current list:
UVM
UMass
Quinnipiac
UConn
BU
Tufts
Stony Brook
Rochester
Brown
Pitt
Thomas Jefferson
Penn State
Dartmouth
UCincinnati
Western MI
Albany
Case Western
Rosalind Franklin
Hofstra
Drexel
VCU
Emory
Geisinger
George Washington U
Temple
Ohio State
Wayne State
St Louis University
SUNY Upstate
Wake Forest

Reaches:
University of Pennsylvania

Thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, what was your reasoning for removing schools like VCU, EVMS, Rosalind Franklin, etc? Are they considered “low yield” schools?

They are likely to resource protect you out. They know from historic norms that candidates of your caliber most likely go elsewhere.
