why not rutgers?

 

[coolio247]

Tuoro and LECOM safety schools. I just can’t imagine living in the Rutgers area

you don't need them as safety schools
with your application, all publics and ivies would be ok

once again, are you in school in the fall or doing a gap year?

 

[coolio247]

Entering senior year, so no gap year.

Entering senior year, so no gap year.

ok, here's the issue
you are going to get MANY interview invites
i mean it's a god (edit- good, not god...) problem to have, but how are you going to have enough time and money to attend even a portion of them?

I agree. Be picky; no more than 12 schools. Let the schools recruit you. Pick schools where you would be most comfortable with their students, staff, faculty, and patients. Call your shot. I expect Columbia will be persuading you. Leverage your SHPEP connections, rockstar!

oh, that's a good question- where did you do your SHPEP? did you keep in contact with people at that school?

 

[Spahrtan]

Where are you wanting to practice afterwards? East or West Coast? I agree with the advice above and probably would skip the Texas schools and that whole separate app/expense - and further narrow down your list. Nicely done on your stats! Good Luck!
What is URM under minority?
What EC's have you done?

URM- under represented minority
you can apply to texas schools on AADSAS...

 

[Spahrtan]

Thanks! I thought Texas had their own medical and dental school application as well. TMDSAS?

my understanding is that the texas residents do the TMDSAS and non residents can do either...
