Just wondering where everyone is applying? I am having trouble deciding which schools I might actually have a chance at or if I'd be wasting my money. Thanks!!
2002 applicants: Where are you applying??

Look at out of state/in state acceptances.... That would definitely eliminate some of your options.
Then look at the tuition fees, etc. See if you can afford it.... That would eliminate some if money is a factor.
Then look at some of the stats.... That would eliminate some... Maybe.
Then look at the program.... P/NP vs grading... whatever floats your boat.... Maybe that'll eliminate some.
Location... that would eliminate some....
Like you said, hard to decide, but that's a part of the process.

DEFINITELY Look at out of state vs. in state applicants. I think I would have saved a lot of money doing this in retrospect.
Also Look at location! Will you really be able to afford driving/flying to that interview.. And would you really want to? I never thought it would be me, but I groaned when I got an interview with a school once I thought of the travel costs. And to think about moving costs 🙁
OK my last issue is with programs.. since now they are all so different! Do you get to have clinical experience starting with your first year? Or is research emphasized etc. For example, Duke's Only-one year-class may sound like a sweet deal... but I don't think I could have handled the one year of research that goes along with it. But that just me...
Know thyself!

I'm a CA resident, haven't finalized the list but I'll probably apply to 12-13 of these:
for sure:
UCLA, UCSF, JHU, Penn, WashU, Yale, Duke, Case, Chicago
probably:
UCSD, Northwestern, Maryland
maybe:
Harvard, Vandy, Mayo, Stanford
I'm unsure of whether PBL or trad is better for me, but I think I could do either and some sort of combination would be ideal. I'm also not too concerned with P/F, its one way to deal with bringing down stress but seeing med students here (I'm a JHU undergrad) I see that they are not as competitive as people say, (they all use the "B=MD" line far more than you'd ever want to hear it).
In terms of advice, well you might think UMaryland is an odd place to apply for a CA resident, but they love hopkins undergrads, look into your school might have a med school known to like students from there. Good luck to all.

Which school do you go to in Canada?
I am Canadian myself (BC resident), but going to school in the States.
I am thinking about applying to UWO, UT and Queens, but someone told me that canadian schools, especially UT doesn't like Canadian applicants from US colleges.
Any validity here?

I am a Mississippi resident but I thinking that these are the schools I will apply too right now(this is subject to change depending on hell well my grades and MCAT go for I will be taking prereqs right on through spring for the MCAT). In order of preference(how I see them now).
Eastern Virginia Medical School
Loyola of Chicago
University of Alabama Birmingham
University of Mississippi
University of Florida
University of Tennessee Memphis
Possibly a couple others since I am not sure how I will be looking at finances yet(I.E. will I go private or out of state despite the fact that either would leave about $150,000+ in debt)

Hey Legi,
I'm @ Guelph! I absolutely love it ..... How about you ... which school are you at? Why did you decide to go to school in the states?
Who told you that you won't get any love from UT b/c you go to school in the states? That's BS ..... Don't listen to them. I know UT admits students from American colleges every year.
Good Luck with your application, 🙂

A mistake that I made initially was to look at the percent out of state students instead of the absolute number of out of state students. If a school only accepts 25% out of state, but has a class of 200, then your chances are alright. My problem is most of the top primary care schools are state schools. Anyway, here is my list:
Mayo (#1) Arizona
Michigan Dartmouth
U of Washington Penn State
Washington U Virginia
Oregon Health Sciences
New York Medical Iowa
Rochester MC of Wisconsin

I know that there are more people around here that are applying for the entering class of 2002. Come on and post so we can see where everyone's applying. Good luck to everyone who is working on AMCAS right now!

Just a word of advice to some of you future applicants, having just finished the application cycle myself -- I am a huge believer in the RANGE system, ie, applying to a wide range of schools -- some "reaches"; some that are in line with your scores and residency status; and some that generally have ave. scores lower than yours. I was pleasantly surprised by several of my reach schools, but less successful with the schools I thought I was "on par" with (surprisingly), and the "safeties" were sort of a mixed bag (since there really is no such thing as a "safety"). The wider the range of schools that you apply to, the better chance you have of covering your bases. Even if you think you are God's gift to med school applications, don't automatically discount your state school or some of the "lower tier" schools -- the process does not always make a lot of sense. Good luck to you all!

I completely agree with lily...
The schools that I thought I wouldn't get an interview with, I got one.
The ones I thought I would definitely get an interview with, didn't even bother with me. This whole process is VERY strange and fickle. My suggestion is to apply to A LOT of schools... That's if you got the money. Good luck!

those out of state schools you mentioned, I was also adviced to apply because they had a good track record of accepting CA students, but since the word got out pretty much everyone in CA will apply to these schools and thus the competition for out-of-state CA students may become as hard as it is for us in CA.

I know, it kind of stinks, but getting into a UC is so darn tough these days....i thought the whole idea of being a CA resident was to help you have some advantage in applying and being accepted, but seeing that the CA schools only accept 90-130 students per year, that leaves a lot of qualified people out of the mix...just gotta keep praying, I guess!

Just wanted to remind some of you applicants to research the # of non-residents admitted to state schools. I've been seeing a lot of state schools listed, and many of them are notorious for accepting few to none out-of-staters. No point in wasting an application fee if you don't need to. Good luck!

Yeah. I go to school at a small liberal arts college downstate. Also, I'm a life-long resident of Southern Illinois and hope to practice here someday. I basically chose all of the in-state schools except Northwestern and Pritzker. I don't think I stand a chance at those schools. Plus, I live somewhat close to St. Louis, MO., so applying to SLU is a must. With my interest in osteopathy and primary care, I wanted to apply to a couple of DO schools as well. G-Town, Tulane, Albany, and Creighton are on my list purely because they accept alot of out-of-state students. I won't apply to them if my MCAT is a little low or if I can't find the cash flow. I'm kinda poor. There's the breakdown of my list. Hope that helps.

Turtle21 Mt. Sinai is my top choice too! Maybe I will see you there? I actually wanted to apply there Early Decision but the people I spoke to there said they only have one or two people try that each year and it's a crap shoot! Oh well. I posted on the forum looking for people who have recently been accepted or current students, but haven't really come across anyone.
Good Luck

Updated (and final) list:

N'western
Pritzker
Loyola
Finch
SLU
Med College of Wisc
CWRU
I feel like my list, compared to others, is:
A) quite a bit shorter, and
B) not nearly as prestigious
It's interesting that people would apply to a bunch of top notch schools, considering that, if they're applying to them, they are probably very competitive applicants and therefore don't really need to apply to so many schools. Just something that struck me. Let me know if there are any opinions on this....

Pre Hawk Doc: I'm a MN resident and we're applying to a lot of the same schools, so WITHDRAW ALL YOUR APPS RIGHT NOW!!! Just kidding. I am applying to the following schools:
Minnesota (1st choice)
UMD
Iowa
Vermont
Wake Forest
Finch
Loyola
MCOW
U Chicago
St. louis U
I think that I am just being realistic. I don't have a great GPA, but I got a 35p MCAT and a lot of great EC's, so I might have a shot. Sounds like you know where you stand too. I don't think it's a bad idea to shoot high (like so many people), but one has to realize that odds aren't great of getting into many top-tier schools. As long as a person understands that and is willing to accept rejection (as well as acceptance), there's no harm in trying.

I guess this won't help most of you here, but I'm probably just applying to schools in Canada (Toronto, Queen's, Western, Ottawa, Mac, BC, Alberta, Calgary). I wanted to apply to the States too, but didn't have time to do the April MCAT... and I've heard how far behind in the application process the August MCAT puts you.

Designated 30 AMCAS schools and one non-AMCAS. Let's see if I can remember:
Top 4 (no order): University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, Washington University, Mayo Medical School
Baylor College of Medicine
Medical College of Wisconsin
Saint Louis University
Yale University (not expecting much, but worth $30 to find out)
Vanderbilt University
University of Chicago
Northwestern University
Loyola University of Chicago
Rush University
Oregon Health & Science University (still not clear on instate preferences, keeping my fingers crossed that they'll consider a halfway decent nonres.; also, my grandfather went there when it was U. of Oregon, wouldn't terribly mind following in his footsteps)
The Ohio State University
Emory University
Dart Mouth 🙂
Case Western Reserve University
Creighton University
Thomas Jefferson
Medical College of Philadelphia/Hahnemann University
Some other places
Honestly, I'd attend any of the schools I applied to. I really don't care where I end up if I don't get one of my higher preferences. Some of these are state schools; I am a nonresident at all of them. I hope this isn't foolish, but I think I have some sort of a shot at them, except for OHSU which I'm still not clear on. Iowa, for example, is committed to enrolling a 30% nonres. class. Oh, well, AMCAS is $1030 richer and I'm that much poorer regardless.
