Also please let me know if there are any other schools I should consider applying to!

You can literally apply almost anywhere with your stats. Go on each website and see their in-state vs. out of state student ratios. That's all that would be standing in your way for an interview invite. There's no such thing as guaranteed safety by the way.

MD resident, 3.74 Cum GPA, 3.7 Science GPA (Biology B.S. Major)
25 AA, 24 TS, 20 PAT
Attended Top 10 School
So far:
UCSF, Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, UMaryland

I'm having issues choosing 6 more schools from this list:
BU, Tufts, NYU, Touro, Midwestern (Arizona), Howard, Temple, Creighton, and Colorado

These are mostly mid-tier/safety schools, but it's hard for me to figure out what is a guaranteed safety school for me. Thanks!

Do some research, they are all within your reach. Like above said, look at which ones are out of state friendly, prices, programs, etc.

BU, Tufts, NYU, Touro, Midwestern (Arizona), Howard, Temple, Creighton, and Colorado

You want six schools out of the above list?

If I had to pick five from the above, I would take: BU, Tufts, NYU, MWU-AZ, and Temple.

To round out your list, pick one from: Touro/Howard/Creighton/Colorado

Any school you want based on your preferences. /thread.

Why do you suggest UofP? Is it considered "safety"? Flying out to California a lot isn't super ideal for me, but I would definitely consider it.

 

[DC206R]

No such thing as a safety imo. Every interview opportunity is valuable. Apply if you like the school because your stats allow you to be picky/choosy.

Whoa, saw it costs $160k/year to attend...no thanks...

If cost is a big thing for you, which it should be, then I'd consider LA as an additional school. Cheaper than a lot of the schools on your list like SF, Penn, Columbia, Harvard, even as an OOS I believe. In state tuition after 1 year. But if you don't really want to go to CA just apply to those you already have on your list and you'll be fine. At the very least you might be better off replacing one of NYU, BU or Tufts with LA based on price alone. You don't need to apply to so many expensive privates.

Just crunched the numbers and found UCLA to be very difficult to get into as OOS...Although the price for out of state is still amazing!

I'd really urge you to go for it though and just remove 1 or 2 of those privates I mentioned. Your stats are amazing and you definitely have a good shot at an interview, especially if you apply early. You should have no trouble getting into one of NYU, BU, Howard, and your state school at the very least. And if you are offered an interview at LA as an oos applicant you're essentially guaranteed a spot.

Ok, I definitely will put UCLA on my list. What is your opinion on Colorado, Temple, and Touro as an out-of-state applicant?

Temple and Touro fall into the category of expensive, private OOS schools for you. I'd personally pick the others over Temple and Touro, and I don't think you need to apply to many of those. Colorado, I don't know anything about really but if it's relatively cheap and you'd be happy there, go for it! If I had your application I would apply to the following:

Maryland
UCSF
UCLA
Penn
Columbia
Harvard
Colorado

Then add maybe 3+ of these based on how much money you're willing to spend, level of interest, etc.

NYU
BU
Tufts
Howard
Creighton
Midwestern
Touro
