School List Help: cGPA 3.75, sGPA 3.73, MCAT 516 (unbalanced)

[Biological]

Hello everyone, looking for some help building a school list for next year. Every list I build, I end up feeling like I'm shooting either far too high or far too low!

Stats:

• cGPA 3.75, sGPA 3.73, no trend whatsoever
• MCAT 516 (129, 132, 128, 127)

Which area of the county are you interested in? Your stats are good enough for half the schools in the country so you need to narrow down your preferences.

If possible, west coast/southwest regions. I was also thinking about tossing a couple (literally 1 or 2) schools from the mid-atlantic region on there.

You could try these schools:
Emory
Miami
Wake Forest
Duke
Tulane
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
GW
Georgetown
On the west coast you could try CA schools such as USC, UCLA and Loma Linda.

Thank you! Based on your input, I created a (probably quite rough) list. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to look it over and see if it's at least a somewhat reasonable mix of schools.

Duke
Stanford
UCSF
Yale
UMich
Mayo MN
Mayo AZ
UCLA
Dartmouth
Keck
Miami Miler
Icahn
Einstein
Tulane
WSU
UW
OHSU
Rosalind Franklin
Eastern Virginia

Yes, your list is reasonable. Stanford, UCSF, Yale and UMich are reaches but it is fine to have some reaches.

Thank you, your assistant and advice is much appreciated!

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for schools in the Southwest that I could add, I'd love to hear it!
