4 year divison I athlete
typical volunteer, research, etc.

Here is what I have so far:
Creighton
UNMC
Loyola
Finch
MCW
SLU

Thanks so much everyone!! 😍
 
That's a great GPA. Sorry, I don't know anything about that region (sheltered east coaster).
 
I'm not completely set on staying in the midwest....I am just most familiar with the schools in this area.

I've researched stats, etc. quite a bit, but it's hard for me to just apply to a school in NY, etc. without knowing anything about it.

I would love some help!

You should also take a look at NYMC, George Washington, Tulane, Tufts, and Jefferson. You could be a fairly competitive applicant those places (assuming your MCAT is in the 29-31 range).

Also, do you have any opinions on the DO route (osteopathic medicine)? This could be back-up if you do worse than expected on your MCAT (which I hope didn't happen).

Hey all,

Thanks for the responses....I just have a few questions/comments.

I would like to have my list be about 15 or so.......

I think I will add Tulane for sure...love New Orleans

Anybody have MCAT/GPA stats for Case...can't find them on the website

Other schools I am thinking about.....
George Washington
Georgetown
Emory
Pritzker
Boston U.
Tufts
Minn-TC
Wake
Dartmouth
Albany
Einstein
NYMC
NYU
Rochester
Oh. State
Oregon
Drexel
Jeff
Penn St.
U Penn
U Pitt
Temple
Brown
Meharry
E. Virginia
Virg. Commonwealth
Vermont

I know this is a long list, but according to the MSAR data, these are schools that accept at least 50-60% out of staters.

I would love any comments/recommendations.

Thanks!!
