adding a couple more schools help?

[echoyjeff222]

Hey all,

I got a somewhat more finalized list. I divided it into three categories based on my stats. Wondering if anyone could comment on any schools that I might want to remove or add a couple more schools based on the current distribution? Thanks!

3.9 cgpa, 32 mcat (11/10/11), 300+ service hours (w/patient contact). thanks!!

WA is only a fit if you are WWAMI.
Loma Linda is a fit you are Adventist.
Miami is an acceptable choice , though they tend to use OOS to boost their median.
Brown is a fit if you attended Brown.
I can't tell from your post if you are quirky enough for OHSU!

Don't get me wrong. I like them.
But I have never seen a "regular" OOS applicant get accepted there.

Indiana and Illinois are not 'safeties' since your are not a resident of those states. Apply to several more OOS private schools.

U Colorado
U AZ (both)
U VM

Any new MD school. Skip Central MI and the three new FL schools.
Your state school(s).
Any DO program

For some reason, U IL seems to take more of our CA residents than one would guess. I can see about a dozen holding there on our waitlist right now.
