No med school is easy to get into-we all know that...But to better my chances, are these schools a good mixture:

Just an FYI: IL Resident with I a cGPA 3.83 sGPA 3.72 MCAT 28P and a ton of good ECs

@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } Albany, Boston, Drexel, George Washington (my main man), Loyola, MCW, NY Med College, Rosalind Franklin, Rush, Temple, UIC, Iowa (my undergrad), Wake Forest, Creighton, SLU, Tulane, Oakland Belmont MI, Georgetown…Any other additions or deletions?

Not to be a negative Nancy but with a 28, any of the above will qualify as a dream school.
