Which other schools are you applying to ? Where is your state of residence ?

For privacy I’d rather not go into detail about State and school list, but it is a combo of 18 low-tiers, mid-tiers, and HBCU. Looking to round out the list with one of these three.

Any one of those 3 schools are fine with your stats.

Thank you!

@Faha @Goro or anyone else. I’ve saved a bit and could add more schools; considering the stats above and that it’s already September, would sending secondaries now to UW Madison or Illinois be worth it? Or would they be purely donations?

I like the schools but have no ties besides visiting both areas a couple times a year for friends.

Skip Illinois. Their tuition and COA is astronomical-highest in the US!

If you are going to add more schools consider some top tier schools such as:
Harvard
Columbia
Cornell
NYU
Pittsburgh
Case Western
Duke
Washington University

If your latest MCAT is from 2017, some schools will find it too old.
Others will wonder why you didn't apply in the cycles since that last exam.

I’d give it a shot; so it wouldn’t be too late for reaches/top tier if I’m complete this weekend?

No.

I made sure to apply to schools that accept my latest scores, and if I get II can explain I didn’t want to rush myself and repeat my mistakes. But didn’t explain that in my primary or secondary apps...will it be a major problem?

Sounds good.
