Thank you for responding and for the extra schools! Mount Sinai has a pretty high MCAT average, and I already have a few reaches. What was the reason you added that school? I'm thinking of adding Rochester to the list.

It is more likely than other NYC schools you have such as Cornell and NYU.

I consulted the MSAR on these and I have half the schools below my MCAT and half above. What concerns me is my state doesn't have a medical school, so these are all out of state except for Brown. I know some of these are reaches, but a girl can dream, right?
