So I've submitted primaries to 30 MD and 6 DO schools. I've pretty much received secondaries for all of them minus 2 or 3. I probably should have thought this through earlier but I'm realizing how expensive it is to submit secondaries and I'm looking to cut down my list. Given my 509 (127/124/127/131) MCAT, 3.95 cGPA and 3.89 sGPA, how many medical schools should I apply to? All schools I've applied to have MCAT score averages between 504 and 514 (most are in the 509-513 range). Your advice will be very much appreciated!

Hard to know without your specific school list.
I'd also point out that it is cheaper to fill out 30 secondaries than fill out 20 and have to reapply...
