Save your secondary fees on the CA choices. Loma Linda has a specific mission based preference for matriculants. Unless you are congruent with their mission and abstinence policies your chances are slim.

USC's median MCAT is 34+ and there are 5000+ CA applicants.

What's your state of residence? Some of those state-schools you listed are pretty IS selective.

Thanks I will consider adding these. Is Arizona/Neraska/Creighton out of state friendly?

I know what you mean. Although I probably have a slim chance at USC, I put it on there since it's my dream school and it's one of the 4 only high reach schools I have.

I am aware of Loma Linda's philosophy. I agree with their goals and could see myself thriving there.

What's your state of residence? Some of those state-schools you listed are pretty IS selective.

My state of residency is District of Columbia (DC). I forgot to state it in the original post.

By my definition (OOS matricualtion rate > 15%) they are.

 

[UTPHS]

Does anyone have more suggestions? And if they could possible answer my 3 questions in the original post, that would be great too.

Bumping this since we have almost identical stats.
