Hi guys, I submitted my primary today (Really late, I know) and now I'm trying to decide what schools to apply to.

 

[Etopn23]

All state schools, all HBCUs (Morehouse, Meharry, Howard, Drew etc), out of state private schools in which your stats fall in line with that you can see yourself going to. Some schools (Tulane for example) have sent out a lot of interview invites already so you are already behind at some of these schools.

You need to submit primaries ASAP.

The Chicago schools (Pritzker, Northwestern) will waive secondary fees for you if you opted to share your information on the MCAT. If you didn't, you can email their diversity department and CC admissions and ask.

Stay calm 🙂. Based off of the AAMC race/stats chart you have an 89.6% chance of matriculating into an MD program.

I'm kind of new to SDN so I'm not all that familiar with the slang. What does high yield mean?

Please disregard that post. He was trolling.
You are a candidate for some of the finest schools in the county (if that is your only MCAT).

I suggest these schools with your stats:
ALL your Florida MD schools
Boston University
Tufts
Brown
Dartmouth
Hofstra
Einstein
Mount Sinai
Jefferson
Georgetown
George Washington
Duke
Emory
Tulane
St. Louis
Loyola
Cincinnati

Oh, I hadn't realized you already responded, thank you so much

Finest schools? But a 510 isn't that great is it?

URM doctros are badly needed.

OP, start list with WashU and radiate outwards. Any school is yours.

Hmm...@Goro, I would respectfully disagree; I'd say OP is competitive at most schools but isn't a strong applicant for the likes of Harvard. In my experience, affirmative action has been a boost, but not quite that dramatic, otherwise I'd be at Harvard or Columbia or something. I'd say OP should apply to HBCUs, state schools, midtiers, and maybe four or five top-20 schools - as @Faha suggested.

You are a rare commodity.

Is there a list of mid tiers and which ones should I be looking at?

Two questions, when you say state schools,
you mean both private and public right?

Second, I submitted my primaries yesterday, are my chances bad because of that?

At certain schools you would have a disadvantage, yes. I would look at the school threads of any of the schools you are interested in applying at. Pre-write your secondaries now and submit them day of.

Yes, both private and public.
