I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO APPLY......just kidding :)

I posted on here a year ago regarding the same thing. But That was with a projected MCAT score. My actual score turned out horrible. So I took a year and increased my score significantly. Now I just need to figure out where to apply.

I just graduated from my undergraduate (May of 2018) and I am resident of Florida. I am planning on applying to all Florida MD schools (USF, UF, UCF, UM, Nova, etc). However, that is only 8 school, and I have no idea where else to apply out of state.

I am planing to apply to medical school this cycle, and will be submitting at the end of June of 2018.

    • Risk Manager for Taekwondo club - 3 semesters
