3.86 cGPA, 3.86sGPA, 3.85nsGPA 27M URM

Hi all,

Just got my score (from 08/05) 27M (PS 9, BS 11, VR 7).
I was expecting a low VR score (moved to the US from Honduras when I was 15). I got pretty good EC's (1 yr research, clinical volunteering, Theta Xi Fraternity, etc.).

This is the list of schools I'm applying to :

Tufts
Boston U.
Jonh Hopkins
University of Chicago
UIC
Northwestern
Loyola
Indiana
Rush
Rosalind Franklin
Mayo
Stanford
Brown
hardvard

I know I'm not going into most of these, but I would like to know where do you guys think I have the best chances of getting in.

UIC, Rosalind Franklion, Indiana (if you have state ties), and Loyola (if you have a strong pattern of service to the poor).

Thanks so much for your response. Do you think there are any chances of me getting into Brown? I know my MCAT is way lower than what they are looking for, and that it's probably impossible for me to get in there, but I really would like to be part of their Honduras Initiative program. It just would be amazing to be given the opportunity to go back home and help people there.

After Tufts and BU, Brown is probably next on the list of probablitities (after those I already listed).
