Hey guys, I know everyone is probably getting really sick of these types of posts…..but I was really hoping to get some last minute advice on my school list🙂. Overall I think my application is solid, but the 16 on the QR section of the DAT scares me. Here are some of my stats…
oGPA: 3.93
sGPA 3.94
DAT: AA 21, TS 22, PAT 19, QR 16
So far I have 100+ hours in both shadowing and volunteer work, plus 300+ hours in research.
Ohio Resident
So far this is what my list looks like…

Ohio State
Pitt
Maryland
Michigan
Louisville
Kentucky
LECOM
Nova
Colorado
Marquette
Virginia Common Wealth
Case Western
Indiana

I’m not sure if I should even waste my time/money with Pitt and Maryland because I don’t think I’ll be able to meet their LOR requirements. But anyways, any advice on adding/dropping any schools would be greatly appreciated.

Its a good list, but do you realize you're picking OOS schools? I would probably drop 2-3 of the OOS and replace with private schools.
Like ex out Colorado for sure bc they prefer regional oos & Maryland is just weird with oos.
consider: University of Detriot Mercy? Midwestern? Western? Boston? Tufts? Temple?

Okay, thank you! I'll look into some of those for sure. I was mainly trying to avoid private school tuition when I chose those schools. Anyone else have any suggestions?
