Just want a quick critique of my school list. Please share your opinions! I will be submitting my app before my MCAT score to at least one of the below schools to be verified.

- From the Northeast and prefer to stay here, but would move elsewhere.
- My MCAT practice scores are ALL over the place - mid/low 20s to high 30s
- Assuming worst case scenario I will be applying with a 3.42 / 3.46 and ~26-28. (Taking 7/6)
- Strong ECs, 3 years research with posters/pubs/talks and 3500+ clinical hours

The list looks good to me.Make sure you have 2 behavioral sciences (ie. psych, anthro, sociology) and a DO letter of recommendation.If you're from NY, NYCOM seems to matriculate 80% in-state, so that would give you a boost. I was personally very impressed with LECOM-B. If you don't end up getting high 20s and want to save a few dollars, I would drop Western.

Risky to take the MCAT with scores all across the board, but do what you must. good luck.
