Mercer accepts zero non residents. Ohio State, Maryland, Rutgers accept few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state.
You could add these school:
Vermont
Oakland Beaumont
TCU-UNT
Penn State

What does your shadowing involve? You really only need 50 hours of shadowing but you do need 150+ hours of clinical experience not including shadowing. Shadowing is passive , clinical experience is active.

I worked a summer as a scribe... about 200 hours. Completely forgot to include that above!

@Goro Would love to get your opinion also!

Agree with Faha.

Delete the Mercer, CA schools, all OOS public schools, Geisinger, and Einstein.

Delete Loma Linda if you're not a SDA or extremely devout Christian.

ADD EVMS, U VM AND VCU
ADD UNECOM, MUCOM, VCOM, LECOM

Thanks for pointing that out! definitely something to consider. Did you apply OOS to other schools? What was your luck with that overall?

 

[endlessnic]

I had good luck with public schools that take a lot of oos students, but I’m definitely not the most typical applicant so take my success with a grain of salt.

Any public schools you think I should definitely add to my list?? (Sorry for all of the follow ups)

Sorry, not my area of expertise. Any advice I give would be meaningless.
