Okay, but TBH, if you're looking for info to help you narrow down a list, that's probably not the place. They are actually virtual recruiting events. The people staffing the rooms are super nice and super encouraging. I've never seen them say anything that would discourage anyone from applying, no matter what is asked. The answer is always that the process is holistic, they value all types of candidates and experiences, there are no hard cutoffs (even when we KNOW that there are
), and the only way to know what will happen is to submit an application.
If you want help narrowing a list, the best thing to do is to post a WAMC, and solicit some tough love from the adcoms on SDN. If I were you though, if money isn't an issue, I'd apply to every school within my stat range, in place I wouldn't mind being, where I wouldn't face really tough odds being OOS.
After applying those filters, most people don't have more than between 20 and 30 schools, and that's around how many schools you should be applying to in order to give yourself a reasonable chance of success. Some people go crazy and apply to more schools, while others just can't swing that many secondaries if they don't have FAP, so they are forced to apply to fewer schools, but that's really the sweet spot to do everything reasonable to avoid being a reapplicant just based on not having a sufficient number of irons in the fire.
