Any chances for an average white guy with a 3.96cum and 30O MCAT at any MD school other than my state school (IN). I can detail the rest of my potential application if needed. Thanks
Yes, assuming balanced subscores.Any chances for an average white guy with a 3.96cum and 30O MCAT at any MD school other than my state school (IN). I can detail the rest of my potential application if needed.

We're talking a June 2013 application, right? If so, then applying to the usual number of schools (14 is the average) in your zone should be fine, especially if you'llbe including some DO schools on the list.Yeah, 10s across the board. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to apply really broadly in order to have much of a chance though, correct? I'm open to DO schools too

Correct. Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by 'zone'?
Also, for what it's worth I am a bit disappointed in the score. I was in the 36-39 range on aamc exams and was really shocked to see I scored so low. At the same time I really, really don't want to retake unless completely necessary. I would think that my score would still be sufficient assuming I'm not trying to go top 25.
I'm referring to your Lizzy M score being equal or less than the schools on your list. Are you familiar with this formula for helping decide schools to apply to? You can figure it out for each school individually, or:Correct. Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by 'zone'?

Download this google.doc spreadsheet data (an SDN collaborative effort from 6/2011), so you can fill in your own stats (on the Your Stats sheet at the very bottom), and it will tell you for which US med schools youre competitive.
Next look at the sheet's in-state matriculation data before you do further research on each school, removing any from your list that take more than 85% in-state students: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmKVGWwobG5GdEx2MjlBTDE0bXFXNGFZczZqYTZKb2c&hl=en_US#gid=0
And be sure your ECs fit the mission of each school that seems appealing to you.
