Sweetheart, with your MCAT, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Add some top tier schools! Where’s UCLA (Charles Drew), Wash U, Pitts, Yale, etc? Go big or go home lol

 

[Goro]

Any MD school is yours. Start list with WashU and radiate outwards.
Be sure to include Tufts, and the HBCs (including UCLA/Drew)

Thanks Goro! Do you think my unbalanced score is a problem? I want to stay on the East Coast so that's why I didn't include Drew.

Could you also provide a school list for ppl with my stats?

Apply where you want. Don't worry about MCAT "unbalanced". You haven't any section under 125 which is key. Don't feel pressured to apply to the research heavy-weights if you aren't interested in the mandatory research thesis, etc, that those schools require before awarding the MD.

You should receive many interviews from your current list.

 

[OneTwoThreeFour]

For the record, any NY school would be happy to have you-NYU, Sinai, Columbia, Cornell will all likely line up to interview you

UCLA-Geffen is definitely within reach as well. I feel with AAs people tend to only suggest Drew, but don’t forget about their other two programs if you’re interested!

You do understand that more goes into it than MCAT, right? Let’s not derail OPs thread. #PositiveVibesOnly

African-American doctors are desperately needed

Don't disagree. But the washu min gpa doesn't approach a 508 iirc

Who do think is in the <10th %iles?

Well, I did some googling and the minimum MCAT for a few top 20s was in the 509ish range. So its theoretically possible I suppose

Not theoretically. Definitely.
