I would add 10 more southeastern schools that you think you are too good for (cheaper travel for interviews and increases odds of not wasting a year)

Ah, that sucks. But on a related note, did you sign up for Med-MAR when you registered for the MCAT? If so, you may actually be able to get some secondary fee waivers from some individual schools if you score high enough on the MCAT and they send you any recruitment mailings. Loyola definitely does that, as does Northwestern and a couple other schools that utilize the Med-MAR registry when sending things out to prospective students. So you may actually be able to add a couple of schools to your list later (just a heads up).

Come back when you have an MCAT score and then we can advise properly. But chances will always be best with the FL schools.
