I'm a California resident with a list of around 15 schools (all California schools, Columbia, A.T. Still, LECOM, Michigan, Touru, etc.), but wanted to add a few more schools to my list. These are the schools I'm not sure about. If I were to pick ~2-3 from this list, which ones?

DAT (AA/TS/RC/PAT): 23, 23, 29, 21
GPA: 3.7
100+ hrs of shadowing, enough volunteer hrs
No research experience yet, but I am starting one this summer

Univ. of Colorado
VCU
Rutgers
NOVA
Univ. of Buffalo
Univ. of Louiseville
Univ. of Utah
Boston Univ.

I think 15 is more than enough with your stats! Only thing I'd say is that AT Still does require a letter from a volunteer coordinator, so if you'd be unable to get one, I don't think you should apply there (if you haven't already). Also I'd take Rutgers off of your possible list if you have AP credit- they're stingy about it. But personally I wouldn't apply to any more schools. I applied to about 14 in August because I was late and I thought it was more than enough. You're applying much earlier than I am, and have really competitive stats, and so I think 10-13 schools is perfectly fine for you. Best of luck!
