and will it differ based on school type (for example, T20 / research-focused, state schools, etc)

Not at all. This cycle is different.

Is this still the case @Goro ? I just finished almost all of my secondaries, and have submission dates ranging from mid July to last night. I got my MCAT score back last week, so I wasn't marked complete at many schools until the past few days. I also added a couple more schools to my list after getting my MCAT score, so I am just waiting to receive the last one and submitting immediately (within a day or two).

Oh also probably important to mention: URM, African-American female, reapplicant, LM 61, 500 MCAT, sub 3.0 uGPA but 3.6 SMP at top 40 school. Applying to 23 MD (all pretty low-tier and my IS school) and 9 DO!

As URMs are needed in Medicine, they'll cut some slack for you!

Thank you for the response @Goro , I hope so! Do you think I have still a shot at MD schools w/ my stats? I go to school in the Midwest which is why I applied to higher end schools.

All HBCs (including UCLA/Drew) should be on the list, as well as all of your state schools. And IU, Rush, Tulane, Netter, GWU, Gtown, NovaMD and TCU/UNT....and more DO schools (except the one son my Bad Boy list).

U OK, U TN, Pitt, Rowan, FIU are probably donations. Not optimistic about CMU

@Goro so wait, I'm about to add some of these schools but Rush and Netter screen. Tulane is very pro "earlier apps" and Nova and TCU have very small class sizes.. Do you think I have a chance there if CMU screened me out?

As newer schools, TCU and NOVA might be more lenient
