School Advice for 3.92, 31P Hawaii

[HawaiiDoc]

Attended University of Hawaii-Hilo

Current School List (need to keep minimum due to costs)

• University of Hawaii (JABSOM)
• Keck School of Medicine (my one reach school I hope for!!)
• University of Utah
• Loma Linda
• Creighton
• Drexel
• Temple
• Jefferson Medical College

I prefer to stay on the West Coast, and in "minority friendly" places.
I just really need help on advice on whether this school list looks good (what my chances are), and maybe other school choices that are good. I am unsure of Utah being okay-- I know they have a 20%-ish out of state acceptance-- but not sure if that is only because of them helping the neighboring states w/o med schools.

Please advise! I appreciate any help on chances I might have at these schools (or other ones).

I though Creighton was in Omaha, Nebraska. Is that area minority friendly? Just wondering.

Yeah... I agree the state itself may not be so much-- but I do know there is a significant population of Hawaii people that go to that school (for undergrad at least).

Was just hoping on that... I'll look more into that. Thanks

You have nice stats and ECs.

I would advise you to talk to the med school there and see how you fair. I think that would be the best option for you.

I am not that familiar with stats for Hawaii.

The MSAR (available in the prehealth advising office) gives the race/ethnicity % for the last class of each school. Creighton lists 103/126 white, 5 Hispanic, 15 Asian, 4 black, 1 Native American, 1 native Hawaiian. Further specific breakdown is available.
