I think you have a good shot at all the schools..However, schools like Mayo/northwestern probably want a higher mcat say 33-35. If u are not planning to retake then it is still possible with fantastic EC, PS., lORS.

Bumpity bump. Any more thoughts on that list or my chances? I'm thinking of including Arizona as well

Rush doesn't take all that many OOS students. I would maybe switch out Rush for a private school like Albany or Hofstra.

me and u have similar stats bud. Check my thread that I made and look at the list of schools. I might add a few more reaches/target schools tho.

I like your school list. I think if you will get quiet a few interviews, and if you do well you have a great shot at getting in. If you feel like adding more schools, some I would suggest include:

- SUNY Downstate
- Albany Medical College
- Tulane University

Good Luck 👍

I'm pretty sure Rush is also a private school. And G6- Thanks for the input. I'll be giving serious consideration to both Tulane and Albany. Thanks for the feedback folks
