I don't do WAMC but with your MCAT and life story you have a decent chance at a large number of schools. Given that you want to limit your application to 20 schools look at each carefully and don't put any school on the list that you wouldn't want to attend if it were the only school to make you an offer.

Hi @LizzyM it's an honor to hear from you. Do you think it'd be reasonable to swap Dartmouth for Georgetown and Mt. Sinai for Boston?

And I'll keep your advice in mind. Thanks for all that you do for premeds.

 

[LizzyM]

My only concern regarding Dartmouth is its rural location... be sure that you are into that. If you are coming from Minnesota, I trust that you have the proper winter wardrobe so that wouldn't be an issue.

Mt. Sinai is a reasonable choice.

 

[deleted961100]

Yea, I have enough winter gear for two people

You're right, maybe Kaiser in its place? I'm not sure though, they may be very selective.

Thanks for your take on Mt. Sinai. @LizzyM you rule!

Kaiser is a very new school which means some people will give it wide berth. However, given that it is in Southern California, it may be enormously popular which could make it very competitive.
