Hi everyone. Long time lurker here and this site has answered virtually all my questions. I didn't see a thread yet on this, so I decided to ask.
How did you all decide what medical schools to apply to. Obviously there are certain medical schools that all of us have in mind and are applying to, but how did you find and apply to those other 10-15 schools that you are told to "apply broadly" for.
For me, I am a nontrad and have a 3.4 cGPA and a 33 mcat, so I am somewhat limited in where I am to apply, but I know I will be applying to both MD and DO schools. I just wanted to get input in how/where you all decided to apply. There is over a hundred schools and deciding on where to apply has thrown me for a loop!
It seems as though all OOS schools is gonna cost a ridiculous amount of money. Do most OOS schools provide more financial aid to OOS students? Do you guys know of any OOS schools that are mid-tier that are less expensive. I just bought MSAR, but if any of you know of a mid-tier school thats OOS friendly that is lower in COA/provides more financial aid, it would be greatly appreciated!
With my 3.4 and 33, where would you apply. Are there any schools that are known to be more forgiving regarding the gpa than others, weighing the MCAT more?
Thanks in advance!
