UC Irvine accepts few non residents with no connection to the state. You should receive several interviews from the other schools on your list. You could add Rochester, Pittsburgh, Mount Sinai.

I think Rush wants a lot more community service hours.

Ok I will read more about UC Irvine. Does living and working in the state previously count as a connection to it?

Also do you think my list is too top heavy?

If you grew up in CA and graduated from high school there or attended UC Irvine for undergraduate school then that would be a significant connection.

 

[Faha]

You do have some reaches and do not put much hope in the CA schools (where even CA residents have a hard time gaining an acceptance). However, your Illinois schools are where your best chances are.

Ya you’re right, I’ll take Rush off the list. Any other schools you’d recommend adding or taking off?

I’m glad you are taking Rush off. They expect several hundred hours in the clinical and nonclinical areas(if not thousands). Where do you live in IL? SIU has a pretty definite geographical area they draw their students from. (South of I80.) So check that out. And what about UOfI ? Why isn’t that on your list?

UofI and Carle are separate schools. So yes apply to UofI. Good luck.

Remove Oregon, UCI, and U Arizona (Tucson) for heavy IS bias.

My school list is unpolished and I was hoping I could get some advice about it. Which GPA should I use when compiling a school list since mine are pretty far apart?
Any schools that you all think I should take off or add?
Do any schools particularly like non-trads or engineers besides Carle?

Rush will want more community service hours.

Get rid of UCI, Oregon, Arizona, Rush... consider dropping Baylor and maybe one of the other UCs

consider adding - Rochester, BU, Pitt, Mt. Sinai, Tufts, Tulane, Temple, Jefferson, Cornell
