19 Schools I applied to last year: Toledo, Penn State, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Duke, Temple, Tulane, Tufts, Oakland, Central Michigan, CaseWestern, West Virginia, Michigan, Georgetown, Rush, Wayne, MSU, Loyola, VCU

A little background: I applied last year with these same stats, without the physical shadowing and about 50 hours less of community service. Because my MCAT was delayed, my application was sent before I received my MCAT Score back. I received secondaries at the end of July; however, I was late with submitting the secondaries with my first one submitted in mid-august and I was not complete with all of them until late November (I submitted them as I went, I didn't wait to submit them all together). I received 2 interviews, one waitlist and one rejection. Other than the schools listed in my school list, I would like to not repeat any of the schools that I applied to last year and was unsuccessful at. I would greatly appreciate help with a new school list. Thank you all for your time.
