After reading through the "School You Would Never Apply To" thread, I though we should discuss the reverse.

What are some schools you WISH you had considered/heard good things about the application/interview process?

Not based on application/interviews, but on friends I know that went/graduated from there, I think I would've liked OHSU, Mayo, Baylor, Cleveland Clinic, and Wisconsin.

I wish I had applied to University of Washington, USC, Stanford, and Mayo. I just thought I had no chance 🙂 but I thought I would be a great fit, especially for UW.

University of Toronto. But I'd be international and have no chance most likely.

Baylor College of Medicine. I figured I had no shot so didn't bother applying, but I probably should have done it anyway.

Toledo- They accept nearly every out of state student they interview. I actually had considered them, but I didn't know about that until after it was too late.

Southern DO schools- I'd rather have a DO school in Florida/Georgia as a back up than one in New York. But oh well.

Baylor

Stanford and Duke, but I'm perfectly happy with how it all worked out. I've just heard those are pretty nice schools.

I wish I'd been a little more ambitious- I didn't apply to any top-10's and now I wish I had. Probably wouldn't have worked out, but at least I wouldn't have to wonder!

None. I applied to every single med school that interested me, and I did not learn anything since then that changed my mind. I spent a TON of time researching schools before applying FWIW...if anything, I wish I had applied to fewer schools.

Exception: I wish I had applied to Columbia only, and not to the Bassett program. I feel like my app fell in a hole for what turned out to be the extremely competitive Bassett program...this was its first year, and it got swamped...and as the app cycle progressed, I frankly grew less interested in the program anyway.

Duke and Baylor, hands down.

Dartmouth and Harvard. Didn't apply to Dartmouth for... uhh... honestly I have no idea why. Didn't apply to Harvard because I only had half a year of calc, but I have a half year of stats as well and from everything that I've heard now, they're more than willing to overlook something minor like that.

Basically I wish I had applied to more schools outside of Texas. The problem is, I don't think I could have justified going anywhere out of state without some very hefty scholarships/grants.
