What schools should I add/remove from this list?

Do you have MSAR? It’s hard to say your shot without an MCAT but your GPA is going to make it tough for you at pretty much all of you OOS schools even with a 520.

Nobody can really tell you anything until you get your MCAT back in July. So plan to come back then and people will help you. In the mean time, do you have the MSAR? If not buy it . If so use it to check your known stats with the 10th-90th percentiles of GPAs of schools on your list. Your GPAs should be around at least the 25th percentile . You’ve got some really competitive schools on your list. And your stated GPA range is below average for matriculated students(3.71). What is your sGPA?

I do not have the MSAR. My sGPA should be roughly around the same as my cGPA, probably around a ~3.5ish or so. The out of state schools are mosty for me shooting my shot, I am heavily leaning towards in-state, particularly UM.

No bets until an official MCAT score is posted. Start in-state and radiate outward once you get your score.

Will lock this thread temporarily until I get my MCAT score then! Will also purchase MSAR. Thank you for all of the advice!
