UNR, UNLV, Indiana, Colorado, Central Florida are state public schools that accept few non residents with your MCAT and no connection to the state. You could add these schools:
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
George Washington

Thanks! I have Penn State forgot to list it. Isn’t Jefferson’s mcat really high? And GW Low yield?

 

[Faha]

GW is not any more low yield than Rosalind Franklin or Loyola. For Jefferson you are at the 10th percentile for MCAT but above the 80th percentile for GPA.

 

[gyngyn]

You are an excellent candidate for your state schools.
I do not recommend any of the CA MD schools for you (unless you are Adventist).

Got it. Thank you! But isn’t the fact that I am ORM at 10th percentile kinda iffy for Jefferson? @Faha

Thank you! Any other school recommendations? @Goro any thoughts?
