Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting on SDN. I'm a first-time applicant and I want to know how good of a shot I have at these schools before the applications open up. I'm an Asian female with Illinois res status.
I'm anticipating at least 30 on the MCAT. My biggest concern is my GPA, but it's definitely at an upward trend. I got a 4.0 last semester and hope to continue that.
I am heavily involved with tutoring/teaching at my school but my biggest EC is research. I'm preparing 2 manuscripts for publication and got a 1st place award for my poster presentation. I'm also pretty confident about my LORs.
I'm planning to apply to these places.:
Oakland
Tufts
Wake Forest
Northwestern
Michigan
UChicago Pritzker
Illinois (IS)
Southern Illinois (IS)
Case Western
Rosalind Franklin
Rush
Jefferson
Loyola Stritch
George Washington
As you can see I'm pretty particular about staying in the Midwest for the most part. Some of these are definite reaches and all others I think I'm right about average/slightly below. Any suggestions on this list are appreciated. Thanks!
