Unless you are fluent in Spanish or have a history of involvement in the Hispanic community, don't apply to FIU. They're very mission driven.
USF may be up your alley if you apply to SELECT since they have low/no instate preference and are more lenient on grades. But look into what select entails...high tuition, clinical sites are in Pennsylvania.
Also id say drop a bunch of those state schools. You will be much better served applying to privates. The state schools aren't interested in handing out acceptances to high MCAT OOS kids who probably won't go.
Also add Virginia tech. They are perhaps the most "MCAT over everythang" school out there - and have one of the lowest median GPAs to prove it.
I have a lot of work with disadvantaged populations so I was hoping to keep FIU. I don't speak Spanish fluently but I am working on it! I won't be listing it on my application though as I am nowhere near fluent.
Isn't VA Tech a very research oriented school? I saw you got in there. Did you have a research heavy app?
