Where should I be looking? Not sure I really have the research chops to get into a big research school, but obviously my numbers are pretty good. I was thinking around 12-13 schools.
First time poster, sorry if I broke some kind of rule!
Thanks for your input thus far. This is what I came up with:
UW
MCW
Minnesota
Iowa
Creighton
SLU
Georgetown
Kimmel
Vermont
Rosalind Franklin
EVMS
Duke
Emory
Vanderbilt
Let me know if you all have any suggestions or see major missteps. Thanks a lot!
Could you explain the screens to me? Are RFU and EVMS really screening out 519s?
As for the UM OOS thing, you're right, it isn't a great rate. I have a few family connections in the area and thought I would throw my hat in the ring, even if the chances are slim.
