@FeralisExtremum @tyjacobs I know you guys have your own thread for this already, so I hope you don't mind I tagged you here but would really appreciate your advice!

I would say no to Harvard just because they're very research oriented. I mean if you have extra money laying around, why not I guess. The other Ivy league schools are fine though.

I think UNC is pretty oos unfriendly, although you do have very good stats. Wouldn't hurt to try?

I would add Ohio State

Solid list and you'll have great chances almost anywhere you apply. You should absolutely apply to Columbia/UNC/Harvard/Penn if you're interested in those schools as you've got a good shot at all of them, but keep in mind those schools (with the exception of UNC) definitely aren't known for their strong clinical focus.

Thank you all for the input. I really appreciate it. I'll keep these things in mind while I apply to schools this week!
