Interesting story. I am sorry about your father. You've definitely had a rockier road than most.

Others on here are going to give you more targeted advice, but I'm sure everyone else will say - you need to add many more schools for a realistic shot at MD if you don't want to reapply. If you really, really don't want to reapply, I would add all the DO schools of your choosing.

As for your schools, what is the rhyme and reason for you selections? Your #1 choice UNC has an in-state bias, #2 has a strong in-state bias, #4 has an in-state bias, #5 and #6 have an in-state bias, and #7 has a strong in-state/region bias. I see that you grew up in Wyoming. You should definitely have UW on there! That's your number one shot imo!

Have you claimed residency elsewhere for college?

Don't spend the money on the secondary for LSU and FSU.

Add all the schools on your "panic" list except FAU and UCF.

Off the top of my head, add Vermont, Thomas Jefferson, Quinnipiac, Creighton, Loyola, and Rosalind Franklin.


You have an interesting story for sure with your hardships. Your employment and volunteering is impeccable. But with the mediocre stats you can never be too sure! Add those schools to make sure. Good luck!

You have many state public schools on your list that accept very few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state. For example, Medical College Georgia matriculated only 11 non residents last year and most of those would be former residents, legacies or attended undergraduate school in Georgia. Florida State matriculated only 2 non residents last year (you will not be one of those 2). So schools on your list such as UNC, Medical College Georgia, Florida State, Florida International, Central Florida, Florida Atlantic, South Carolina, OHSU, Geisinger, Louisiana State are completely unrealistic. These are schools where you could receive an interview with your stats:
University of Washington(your best chance is here)
Creighton
California University (new school)
Loma Linda
St. Louis
Loyola
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Western Michigan
Oakland Beaumont
NOVA MD
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
George Washington
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Seton Hall
New York Medical College
Albany
Quinnipiac
Vermont
Wake Forest
Mayo (Arizona)
University Colorado
