I would love any advice on schools I can take off my list or others I may want to exchange.
All of my family is in NJ/PA/NY so I am not particularly interested in living anywhere south of DC or west of Chicago.

Thank you!

I appreciate your help, but just wondering your reasoning for the above schools rather than Drexel, Temple, UConn, Quinnipiac, Rush, Rosalind Franklin, GW? They seem to be similar caliber.

Are they more OOS friendly?

My personal reasoning originally:
UConn and Quinnipiac bc I went to undergrad in CT
Drexel & Temple bc at least one of them views NJ residents essentially as in-state ("we encourage applicants from Pennsylvania and New Jersey" - Drexel site)
Rush & Rosalind Franklin bc seemed more attainable than Northwestern and UChicago

Thanks again!

U Conn might be a go since you went UG there.

The Drexel class schools I took out will likely resource protect you out. Meaning, they know from historical norms that candidates like you go elsewhere.

The schools I added are OOS friendly, and are also more likely to interview you.
