Need help devising a school list. I scored a 515 on my MCAT with 129/126/132/128 breakdown. My GPA is 3.99 and for the sake of discussion assume I have perfect extracurriculars (e.g. I have 6 publications, great research, great clinical experience, etc.)

Thanks in advanced for your help!

How about Columbia, Cornell, and Brown like Faha recommended?

I can never recommend Brown because they highly favor their own UGs. Too hard to get inside their heads.

Look, the higher up the pole you wanna climb, the slipperier it gets. Thus, this is one of those rare times I'll disagree with my learned colleague.

Sorry, do you disagree with all 3 or just Brown?

You should receive several interviews from your list. You have a few reaches but it is OK to have some reaches.
