Do I have the right idea about where I should I apply? Any suggestions?

[deleted826813]

My MCAT score just came back and I'm happy to say I scored well above my target with a 513. (128/126/128/131)

cGPA 3.83
sGPA 3.73

Research: 380hours
Clinical Volunteer: 200+ hours
Non clinical Volunteer (various activitys include student leadership position): 200+ hours
Worked in restaurants while in school for 18 plus hours a week

I'm in New York so I figure I have better chances in state, and I would pay lower in state tuition. So the 8 MD schools I'm applying to are all these.

Albert Einstein
Stoney Brook
Hofstra
Albany
SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Upstate
SUNY Downstate
New York Medical College

Is this a good list of schools? Where else (not in NY) might I apply with my stats? Also how does I'm state tuition work? If I go to a school in a different state will I get instate tuition my second year? Or can I scam a way to get it my first year possibly by moving to the state prior?

Thanks!

Do you think I won't get in if I only apply to 8. I'm applying to 10 tops because I'm paying for this myself..

The medical school application process is somewhat unpredictable so it is always a good strategy to apply broadly.
