Hi everyone,

I'm an Asian CA resident that's looking to cut down my list, I'm currently at 49 schools.

Biology major at a highly competitive top 25 uni, w/ a 3.72 cgpa, 3.68 bcpm, and a 31 mcat (33 superscore).

Solid EC's including 2.5+ years of clinical research, leadership positions, community service, shadowing, etc.

Any advice as to which I should cut down? Finances are not much of an issue. However, I'd like to cut any schools where my chances are extremely low or if their secondaries are very long. Likewise, if any schools I didn't include might be a good fit, please let me know! I'd appreciate any help!

Do you have a copy of the MSAR? If not, I'd invest in it. Some of these schools are not very out-of-state friendly. Others are very low yield as many SDN adcoms like to call them!

Low yield = 10,000+ applicants...not impossible, but definitely more difficult to stand out, especially when some schools only get 5,000 applications. Examples of these are George Washington, Georgetown, BU, and Drexel.

Also have you read Loma Linda's mission statement? It's a very very Christian school, and if you are not a big fan of religion or Christianity, you may want to consider applying elsewhere!
