3. Columbia- one of my top schools but should I even apply with my stats?
4. Nova
5. Tufts
6. Boston
7. Temple
8. Louisville
9. Howard
10. Midwestern AZ
11. UNLV
12. Buffalo
13. Case
14. Pittsburgh
15. UPenn- again, should I even bother applying here?

those ivy leagues are reachable.

apply to LECOM, Roseman, UNE (new), USC, Minnesota (30-35% OOS), Michigan (iffy), UOP, Detroit Mercy, and VCU (reserved seats for OOS).


these are private and OOS friendly schools


Note: if u can apply to Pittsburgh and Upenn, then u can apply to Temple!

if u can apply to Midwestern AZ then u can apply to Midwestern IL and ASDOH!

Isn't USC like 2% OOS acceptance?
