I am a Texas resident who has long since applied to TMDSAS as that was most important. I'm about to submit my AADSAS... I know its late but I had to wait for the Fee assistance program and really i just need an opinion on who to apply to first. I cannot apply to all my schools at the moment because I do not have the money to right now. So here is my list.

NYU
UMDNJ
Meharry
Howard
Temple
Boston
Tuffts
UoP
USC
Western
VCU
Marquette

Who should I send to first? Im going to try and knock them all out as I can pay for them but right now I can send 1.

It would be best if we had your stats to compare with schools. For example, the later you wait in the cycle, the better your GPA/DAT scores need to be. So...if you're an average applicant (~3.5/19 or 20 DAT)...I would apply to somewhere like Western. They have to have your scores (all of them) before Oct. 15th, so be careful. You would be competitive for this school. Some of the other schools you list are going to be extremely difficult to get into this late. I would just save myself some money, unless you have a 4.0/25+ DAT.

If you are URM (I'm guessing you are by applying to Howard and Meharry), these schools will be really easy for you to get into. But, you still need to apply ASAP.

USC, UoP, and UMDNJ are going to be pretty hard to get into, considering how late your app would reach them. If I were you, I would save myself a little money.

I don't mean this to be offensive, but if you're URM, your chances are much better anyway. You will most assuredly get a spot in TX. URMs are pretty much in good shape right now.

Best of luck to you!!! You'll get in, some of these schools you're applying to are unnecessary. You'll see in time! I would apply to the TX schools + Meharry and Howard. Those will be plenty!

My GPA is a 3.19 and my dat is 20/20/21 so UoP USC, is late :/ that sucks UoP was my first choice out of state, Western is late as well?

Are you URM? If not, I dont know how much Meharry/Howard will help. As the others said, I don't think applying to Temple/UMDNJ would be worthwhile, espcially since you are out of states with a lower GPA. USC may be worth a shot as its a big school. I'm not too sure about the others.
