Hello everyone my stats are as follows as of May 2010.

New Hampshire Resident
3.71 (a tad bit higher for M.D.) science g.p.a
3.69 Non-Science g.p.a.
23S MCAT (6 PS, 9VR, 8BS)
600 hours shadowing family practice physician in his practice, and about 30 hours in the hospital
10 hours of house calls with the same physician
Phi-Betta-Kappa Honor society Member
Golden Key Honor Society Member
Chem Tutor for a semester (Spring 2008)
Eagle Scout

Some other extra curricular activities:
Acting
Singing
Computers (most of my work experience is in computer related work)

My plan is to retake my MCAT July 16th and hopefully score a 27 or above. I feel really good already about my improvement and took the last one with extremely limited studying, and review. I am going to submit my application June 1st with the old MCAT scores and inform AMCAS of my upcoming second test date. I am also applying to D.O. schools. I would like your feedback on my chances at the following M.D. and D.O. schools. Specifically is there anywhere you would not reccomend I apply for residency reasons or otherwise? My hope is to cut this down to 10 or 11 M.D. schools and the eight D.O. schools I have. Thank you.

M.D.

Albany Medical College
Dartmouth Medical School (just in case I do really well)

Hawaii is in-state and strong ties only. It is on their website...not that hard to find if you want to look for yourself. Alabama is pretty strongly in-state too, I believe.

Thank you for the input you were correct on both accounts. Any input on SUNY at Buffalo Medical School, or the university of Maryland or the other schools I have listed? I read for Maryland it's 75/25 split and for Buffalo preference was given to in state students, but they didn't state how much.

Thank you....why did I have to live in NH 😡

Ok USHSUS = you working for the military for 8 years after wards ( unless you want to do that, I don't recommend applying).
West Virgina I think has a very very bad OOS acceptance rate.

 

[smmossey]

USUHS actually is a fine option for me, because I always wanted to be in the military anyway...so why not be a doctor and be in the military and do both 🙂. Im looking into HPSP if I get accepted.

Thank you for the West Virginia advice. I am going by the excel sheet on the forums and it doesn't always tell me the OOS acceptance data.

Can anyone define "strong ties" as many schools put it. I have "strong ties" to Florida as my dad has lived there for eight years now and I visit quite frequently, but I am not a resident. Should I apply to Florida schools?
