I had these schools on my list before I got my MCAT results back. I didn't do as well as I expected so I'm wondering if I should make any changes. What should I drop, what should I add? Thanks!

Wow. We've got VERY similar stats and ECs. Check out my mdapps. 🙂

You're from Nevada? That's awesome! (born there, have family there)

There are a bunch of NY schools that you're a pretty good fit for, if you want to go there - Einstein, Columbia, Cornell (though the latter two have been pointed out to me to be research heavy). Pennsylvania has several too, like UPenn, UPitt, etc. Your numbers are pretty good. The list is looking good so far though!
