Hello Everyone!

Please help me with school list

cGPA: 3.72
sGPA: 3.61

MCAT: 507 - 128/124/127/128

-NON-URM
-Financially disadvantaged background
-Great EC's
-Great LOR
-Average PS

I will be applying to both MD and DO. Am I competitive enough for MD? Any input is greatly appreciated 🙂

List?
Is that your only MCAT?
You have the equivalent of a 29+ MCAT.
MD is not impossible but CA is quite unlikely unless you are Adventist or from the IE.
I have seen UCSD and UCD grads get interviewed with these stats at their respective medical schools, though.

Here is my school list:

-First MCAT

-I know I have some IS-bias schools but I tried picking some that still had a considerable proportion of OOS matriculates. What is a good rule of thumb to apply to some IS-bias schools with my stats? Do I have to be way above their median scores?

-Should I add more reach schools? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

-Some DO suggestions would also be appreciated 🙂

Get rid of the bolded right off the bat, you basically have 0 chance at these.

I am not. Went to school in Central Valley. Not sure if that helps.

Delete Loma Linda.
UCR is a long shot, but they may see the SJV similar enough to the IE that they will consider you.
I cannot recommend Northstate.
UMKC gets its OOS from a special program
Delete UND.
