Well if you could give us an idea of how low your stats are that would help. But even without your stats I can tell you the following:

First, (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm pretty sure the UCR/UCLA Thoman Haider program is an undergrad program that then feeds into UCLA. So unless you went to UCR I'm pretty sure you don't qualify.

Second - for the uniformed services. You're sure you're ok with the service requirement that comes with those schools? Nice to not be in debt but when you combine med school + residency + paying back the 4 years to the military (the residency and paying back are interchangable) - its a lot of years.

Next, are you black? Or have you done a lot of work with the black community/have a lot of interest in it? If not, then take off Morehouse and Howard.

Are you a 7th day adventist? If not, are you a Christian who is heavily active in the Christian community? If not, remove Loma Linda from your list - they have heavy preference for active Christians and if you're not you need GREAT stats.

Remove Oklahome, Florida schools, and Alabama - they have heavy preference for in-state applicants. You have little to no chance at them.

Good luck.
 
This is a rather eclectic mix of schools. You sure you researched all of them?

I know that the UMDNJ schools have heavy preferance for in state residents. You should take those out. You seem to have a lot of public state schools in your list, I would advice removing them because they are REALLY selective for out of staters.

It would help to know how low your stats are, but you should consider Rush, Temple, New York Medical College, and George Washington. Consult the MSAR and compare your stats with those schools. Good luck!

UCSD cares a lot about numbers, and U of Mich will be hard to get into with average numbers out of state.
 
not sure what your stats are, but you better have a significant connection to oklahoma to have a chance.
