Remove Brown as they take a lot of their own undergrads and maybe other Ivy League graduates. Saves yourself a little extra money.

Wisconsin is also a little out there unless you would really like to go there.

I would delete all of the OOS schools where your MCAT is above the 90th percentile as including Phoenix.

Thank you Goro for the edited list!

Awesome, will do. Didn't realize that about Brown, and Wisconsin just seemed like a good school but yea low OOS

I would delete all of the OOS schools where your MCAT is above the 90th percentile as including Phoenix.

Ooh ok, but wouldn't that make the list very top heavy? But thank you, I'll definitely take the advice and remove the majority of those schools though and maybe keep a couple.

You're a top-heavy candidate. That's why you should keep Duke, Columbia, WashU, Vanderbilt, Cornell.

They would yield-protect against you as you are a very good candidate stats wise. Check the 90th percentile, but I imagine the OOS schools that would still be interested would probably include Ohio State, Cincinnati, USF Morsani, Iowa and UVA.

Vermont, UCF, UMass, Loyola and Colorado (I think) for example are going to think you won’t attend.
