Hi! Was hoping for some feedback on my school list. My app was already sent out to schools yesterday so I can't really take anything back, but looking at it again, I think my list is way too top-heavy. I'm also concerned since a handful of the schools I applied to are low-yield (Jefferson, Temple, Tufts, etc.).

That being said, I could use some suggestions for additional mid-/low-tier schools. I think I focused too much on the East Coast, which is my preference, but am definitely open to schools in other regions. Basically, I'm looking to apply to a few more schools that will round out my list and increase my chances of acceptance this cycle.

*EDIT: removing my info

CURRENT LIST:
UPenn, Weill Cornell, NYU, Pitt, Baylor, Boston, UMich, UCLA, Case Western, Emory, Ohio State, Tufts, Hofstra, UMiami, Cincinnati, Jefferson, Drexel, Temple, PSU, Geisinger, VCU, EVMS, Oakland

CONSIDERING:
Vermont, Western Michigan, Rochester, Stony Brook, UMass, UCF, DO schools (PCOM, NYIT)


To reiterate, I'll only apply to maybe 3-5 more schools (want to keep it under 30), so if you think these schools could be good additions, which ones would you specifically recommend? Any other schools to recommend that aren't listed here? Any general advice/thoughts/comments?

Thank you so so much!

I suggest you add Vermont, Western Michigan, Rochester. Also consider Einstein, Mount Sinai, Miami .
