Hi! I'm a Texas resident and just getting ready for the AADSAS. I've looked through the OOS% and I was just trying to formulate a list based on the %interviewed/accepted and also whether they take AP credit for pre-reqs.

My stats are:
AA: 20
TS: 20
PAT: 20
oGPA: 3.9
sGPA: 3.85

So far on my list I have:
Arizona
Midwestern
Loma Linda
UCLA
UCSF
UOP
USC
LECOM
Nova
Florida
Oklahoma

I'm considering removing UCLA and Nova but not sure yet.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

edit: I also should've mentioned that I am applying to all 3 Texas schools!

why not apply to Texas schools? You are incredibly lucky to be a TX resident and should definitely take advantage of it!

Are you applying OOS because you are not sure you're going to get into TX schools or are you applying OOS because you want to move out of TX? If the former is true then I suggest removing some schools because your gpa is great and your DAT is decent. I really don't think you need to apply to 11 OOS schools, I applied to 10 and my gpa is lower than yours- and now looking back on it, 10 was too many haha. I would say pick your top 5-6 OOS schools to apply to (but that's just my opinion, you may just wanna cover your bases and that's understandable)
If the latter is true, I think your school list, for the most part, is pretty good. If this helps any, I had a 20AA on my DAT and ~3.7 and I got interviews from a few schools on your list: Arizona, Midwestern, LECOM, and NOVA

I'm applying OOS because I'm not sure if I'll get into a TX school, I feel like you just never know with these things so I don't want to take that risk. But thanks for the advice! I might remove some schools.
