I am CA resident, did not apply to any CA schools because they all suck when it comes to admissions, I will go out of state and that's fine. I have a high gpa, 33 mcat, mediocre extracurricular. no bench research.

I have applied to:
U of Chicago
U of Pennsylvania
Einstein
U of Rochester
Case Western
Rosalind Franklin
U at Buffalo
suny upstate medical university
eastern virginia medical school

I am thinking of applying to:
U of Miami (let me know if you dont agree with this)
Virginia Commonwealth (let me know if you dont agree with this)

I need 4 more schools to make it 15.
look at the picture below. I need to pick 4 schools that are not striked out.
the question is, which 4?

It is extremely late to be applying to med schools at this point, and unless you have something that really sets you apart from other candidates, I'd save my money.

Also not to sound rude, but you really should be picking your own schools instead of having other people pick for you. It's your future.

VCU takes a decent amount of out of state, good choice. I'd also consider U of Cincinnati and Ohio State. Both love cali kids.
