Hey guys I'm new at this so be kind. I was hoping you guys could help me with my list of schools I should apply to. I have a Cgpa of 3.52 and a sgpa of 3.3. How many md and do schools would be an optimum amount? I haven't taken the mcat yet but I have been averaging around 30 on the aamc practice tests. I have pretty strong ec activities and am a south Carolina resident. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Download this google.doc spreadsheet data (an SDN collaborative effort from 5/11), so you can fill in your own projected stats, and it will tell you for which US med schools, MD and DO, you're competitive.
Next look at the sheet's in-state matriculation data before you do further research on each school, removing any from your list that take more than 85% in-state students: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...Ex2MjlBTDE0bXFXNGFZczZqYTZKb2c&hl=en_US#gid=0
Then look up the mission statement of each, and be sure your ECs are a "fit" for the school.
Note that USC-Greenville is not yet on the sheet, as their first class begins this summer and matriculant data is not yet available.
The proper mix of school types can be better discussed once your MCAT score is known.
