Advice on where else to apply

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hello Everyone,

I am hoping for advice on the best way to allocate my limited funds based on my now complete stats (just sat for the DAT). I have paid the fees for UNE, LECOM, and AT Still (AZ) but I need some advice on how many more schools minimally I should apply to, as well as which ones. I do realize my app is late.

My stats:
oGPA 3.68
sGPA 3.57
AA 21
OC 20
GC 21
Bio 21
RC 22
QR 19
PAT 17 (this one stings a bit)

100+ hours in a clinic unpaid/shadowing (cutoff do to COVID)

Any general advice on where I could focus my app beyond the first three schools? I am a Maine resident, so there are no state schools. Given how late we are in the cycle, I'd love some feedback ranging from safer to stretches.

Thanks in advance

you are not late in the cycle...
apply broadly and wisely

That makes me feel tremendously better.

What are opinions on what would be considered widely? Am I being reasonable with 10-12 schools or should I aim higher? Like I said, money is an issue but I can see how creative I can get with my money if my stats and timing mean that number would be cutting it too close.

How does this list look?
UNE
LECOM
Marquette
Colorado
Buffalo
Tufts
Touro
Temple
A.T. Still (AZ)

Based on the explorer my stats are near the averages and they all have taken PAT of 17 last cycle. Where else could I look?
Would Maryland be a reasonable addition? Seriously, any any advice is appreciated. Starting to get bogged down in the numbers and could just use some feedback.


edit: Looks like my decade old English credits are gonna be an issue at Maryland. Am I correct that UCONN would be too much of a stretch?
Thank you
