I am planning to apply to about 33-35 schools. Is that too much? Do med schools frown upon applying to too many schools?

I need your help.

You are spending a lot of money! Why so many schools!
What are your stats like?

my gpa is about 3.52 and i got 28Q on my mcat. so can applying to too many schools possibly hurt you?

Well med schools don't see how many you are applying to in the beginning, so I don't think it directly hurts you. But having so many secondaries could definitely wear you thin.

The only thing it'll hurt is your wallet.

And, I imagine, your wrists from typing up so so many secondary essays.

isn't secondary just mostly sending in another check for like 100 bucks?

The good ones are, the bad ones, cough UCDAVIS, consist of like 6 essays.

hey good for you though... so when u went for interviews, they didn't mention the 54 and frown upon it and stuff right?

Some asked where else i applied or where else i interviewed. its up to you how you answer that question. they dont know where you applied so you're safe. i dont see why they would frown upon it anyway, you're just covering your bases.
