you need to do everything you can short of kissing ass or being a pest to get into UNLV

as for your list, you have way too many expensive private schools for someone with your stats...

Spiritual leader LOR? Are you considering Loma Linda?

You think? I have seen stats that UNLV has only been getting maybe 75 instate applicants. Then UNLV admits like over-near half of them... I feel like I would be in top 50% at least of the instate guys.

That is really good to know I have stats to get in else where that may be cheaper. The out of state cost for some schools look like they come quite close to a private schools cost. Am I wrong? If so, I would LOVE some suggestions on where I should send my app

I haven't considered any California school since I know the cost of living there is outrageous. On top of that the schools are expensive. If you have insight on that like "no, its actually worth it" then please let me know! I love the weather there and how close it is to Nevada but it is just the cost for me.
