Planning to apply to: Walsh, Ohio state, MUSC, Chapel hill, Washington University St. Louis

I'm getting nervous about not getting in and thinking maybe I should apply to more schools. Any advice?
 
If there are other schools that you'd be happy to go to, it probably wouldn't hurt to apply to more, but it really depends on you. There's no reason to apply to schools that you wouldn't want to go to. Your verbal and your GPA look good, but the quantitative might hurt you some. Like I think PTCAS for Chapel Hill lists the average GRE for quantitative at 62%. I think that would work out to like a 154. Your current score is under 50%. If I was you, I'd probably apply to more or at least try to give the GRE one more go. If you bring it up a couple points you'd be looking great for a lot of schools. Best of luck!!!
