Hey guys,
As the title says I'm looking for some schools to apply to. Basically, the highest ranked schools that I'd be considered a good chance for this late in the cycle.
Aside from the long shots I'm not going to mention, the only realistic possibilities I think I've applied to are Emory and MCG, and I'm thinking Emory is probably a long shot anyway this late and with no research. No research is hurting me, I'm hoping my leadership experience will make up for it a little. Any suggestions where I should apply this late? I know I'm supposed to apply to schools with a lower LizzyM score than mine, but I'm not sure exactly how much lower I'm supposed to go.
Thanks guys!
