Mercy might be difficult due to your gpa, VCU will be pretty difficult if you're OOS. Everything else isn't too bad, just understand that since you have a low GPA, it will be difficult but being URM might help.

I actually went to vcu undergrad and thank you I will take out Mercy. Thank you!!

No prob, yeah then keep VCU. I'm not sure what others would say but with a 3.0 GPA I'd consider applying to 15 schools or so, just in case.

I wasn't sure what other schools to apply to because of my gpa

In your case I would apply to all the schools that had 3.3ish average GPA's and hope for the best. From Doc's information:
oGPA s GPA
Nevada 3.37 Missouri 3.46
Missouri 3.34 Nevada 3.46
NY 3.34 NY 3.46
Midw Il 3.31 Midw Il 3.43
LECOM 3.29 Tufts 3.40
Tufts 3.29 E Carolina 3.40
Arizona 3.27 LECOM 3.38
New England 3.23 Arizona 3.37
Roseman 3.23 Indiana 3.33
Loma L 3.20 New England 3.33
E Carolina 3.20 Loma L 3.30
Western 3.17 Western 3.29
Howard 3.11 Howard 3.24
Meharry 3.10 Meharry 3.20


I don't have the book to know which are OOS friendly though.

 

[byahnoob]

aren't the private schools OOS friendly?

From Ajj's list, I'd say consider Tufts and Midwest, Pretty sure Indiana and Missouri are OOS unfriendly, E carolina doesn't accept OOS, Meharry only accepts Black applicants I believe. Loma Linda is more partial to those that are in LDS but I don't know how they perceive OOS overall or URM for that matter.

http://www.adea.org/publications/Pages/OfficialGuide.aspx buy this, it's pretty cheap and lists gpa, tuition costs, ethnicity, dat scores etc... for the students matriculating into the schools
