Given your stats and app, the Jefferson class schools will resource protect and not give you an II, given that you'll probably get into a higher caliber school.

I suggest:

Yale
Case
Mayo
Pitt
Michigan
Northwestern

UMN
Hofstra
Ohio
Morsani
Dartmouth
Rochester
Miami
Loma Linda (not SDA, but devout Christian)

Cincinnati,
Wisconsin,
Loyola,
Iowa,
Tulane,
UVM

If you're willing to have Tufts on your list, then you can have Harvard and Yale instead. You should also consider U Penn, U Chicago and WashU, plus the Manhattan Titans and Duke


You don't need DO

Thanks Goro, I appreciate the feedback! I am worried about the yield protection you mentioned, but also think I'll get screened out of all the top schools for my weak research experience. I'll just hope I have luck with my state school and the mid-tiers, and probably will save my money and not apply DO. Thanks again!
