Third time applicant and I need some help. I am a VA resident.
First round was a joke, was not prepared to go to med school out of undergrad and I did not get any interviews.
Second time around I had improved upon my app by going to grad school and received an interview at EVMS but was waitlisted and never got in.
Now I'm gearing up for my third application. I recently improved my MCAT from a 506 to a 511, I have stellar graduate school grades, and have more than enough clinical/volunteering hours.
The following are schools that I have applied to twice and I was wondering if anyone has heard of any of these schools not being receptive to a 3rd app and that I should just save my money for other schools.

Drexel
EVMS
GW
Georgetown
Indiana U (family ties)
MUSC (strong ties to SC, previous lived there)
Penn State
Sidney Kimmel
Tufts
VCU
 
Did you receive secondaries at all these schools last cycle?
 
Tufts and Sidney Kimmel are extremely picky and low yield. And your MCAT is below avg. for both.

I think you should add Albany and DO schools as well.

I think @Goro could suggest some nice DO schools
