Hi,

I am finalizing my application and was hoping for some comments on my list of schools as it is now (far from final)

Thoughts: so what about more new york schools? Indiana? Creighton? USUHS? ...

Members don't see this ad.
 
I wouldn't add any NY schools or Indiana. Creighton would be alright to add, if you like. I'm sure you've been told this, but your gpa is a little low and may make things tough for you. According to the school selection spreadsheet (sorry if you already checked this out - if not it's at the top of the forum thread list), all but MSU, Kansas, Utah, and Commonwealth are "hopeful" schools. Maybe you could add Marshall? Though they admit mostly in-state people, it's marked "high chance."

All that said, you've chosen well from the available MD schools. Best of luck!
 
Ehh, I think you've got too many OOS public schools. I would replace some schools like EVMS, WVU, Rush, and Kansas with schools like SLU, Creighton, GWU, Temple, Penn State, SUNYs, etc.

I would also add your other state school.
 
I would add some DO schools to minimize the risk of not getting an acceptance in one cycle.

Did you want to run your ECs past us, or are you confident you have the usual expected elements on your application?
