Hey everyone!
I'm trying to put my school list together. I feel like my MCAT and GPA don't exactly match so I'm trying to figure out if it is realistic for me to get into these top tier schools and I want to make sure my list isn't too top heavy. I'm also worried because there are some schools that I am generally interested in that I'm afraid won't admit me because they are traditionally low yield schools.
