Members don't see this ad.

For some reason I am very indecisive on schools to apply to. My goal is to have no less than 10 but no more than 15. Any help is appreciated.

CA Resident
sGPA: 3.87
oGPA: 3.86
DAT: 20 AA/21 PAT/20TS
~280 Volunteer Hours
~ 100 Shadow Hours

List so far:
ASDOH
Midwestern - AZ
UCLA
UCSF
USC
UOP
Western
Colorado
NOVA
Creighton
Oregon
Texas Health & Science Center at San Antonio (Had the highest out of state acceptance of the 3 texas schools)
Roseman
Washington (People say don't apply here, but isn't CA part of WICHE?)
Marquette

Other options I was thinking but then I would delete some off my current list:
UNLV
Upenn
Michigan
Case Western

Thank you

UW, ASDOH, and the Texas school should be taken off

The rest are personal choices but I'm 99.99% sure those would just be a waste of money.

I would take out UW, San Antonio, and maybe even ASDOH because your volunteer hours not high enough for what they usually look for. You can sub in the other schools you mentioned.

Really I have that bad of chance at Washington being from California?

Yes, most of the OOS students are from WICHE states. You're free to apply though
