BU - Remove this school is very bad
Midwestern - Add both IL and AZ
Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania
ASDOH - Remove unless you have 800 hours or more of volunteer work
Case Western -
USC - Remove because this school is horrible and is way below your stats
Louisville
(Maybe Buffalo?)

I'd add in Buff, Columbia, and UMDNJ. Plus see my revisions above.

Thanks for the tips. Yeah I've got a lot of volunteer so I'll definitely keep ASDOH.

What's wrong with BU?

I think Spacecake saying the school is very bad is a little harsh. There are some threads on SDN with a few complaints about the BU program. I think you should look at the threads, and try to decide for yourself.

As for USC, I believe what spacecake is referring to as horrible is the PBL format. It's something that I personally didn't think fit my way of learning, but I believe some people might thrive in that environment. I would look into the PBL teaching style and see if it sounds like something that would fit your way of learning.

I would also consider adding Michigan and Temple. Best of luck.
