Those are some great suggstions. Definitely added some to my list. Only question I have is that since Drexel, Temple, NYMC, Albany, and George Washington are super low yield with over 10k apps, is it still worth adding them?
Thank you for the suggestions!!!

Drexel, Temple, Albany and George Washington offer interviews to over 10% of OOS applicants who complete secondaries. Rosalind Franklin is less than 5%.
