Hey guys, my new MCAT score comes out on June 11th. I've added some schools I am considering and others I will most likely apply to. It depends on my actual score, but I am highly that I felt really good on test day and optimistic that I did well. My WAMC content above is also updated. In addition to a higher MCAT, I also retook Preview (4 -> now 6) and Casper (results late June) so hopefully better SJT can help boost me too.
 
Here's my current school list. It's at 39, I hope to apply to about 30-35. Other schools the tool wants me to apply to, but I am hesitant about, are: Einstein, Emory, Georgetown, UCSF, Rush, Loyola.

Creighton
Colorado
Jefferson
Cincinnati
Iowa
UCSD
USC
UCI
Kaiser
Pitt
Ohio State
Miami
Dartmouth
Tufts
UCLA
Tulane
OUWB
Wake
CUSM
Wayne
SLU
Drexel
Western Michigian
Nova
Vermont
George Washington
EVMS
Quinnipiac
Virginia Commonwealth
Hackensack
TCU
NYMC
UC Davis
Temple
RFU
Penn
Albany
MCW
Belmont

Why hesitant about UCSF? In state + around their median MCAT. Do you have good non clinical volunteering?
 
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. A girl I know with similar stats got into Columbia, pritzker, umich, and unc.

USF/Morsani
Emory
UCSF
Loyola
Western MI
Tufts
BU
Mt Sinai
 
My list on the initial posting has been updated to reflect my CURRENT school selection. Are Drexel, Hackensack, and CUSM (all private schools) good adds to my list?
 
I am thinking about removing Nova due to how poor their admissions process has been. There have been no emails, no rejections, and no communication from them at all. Could I add either Rochester, Iowa, or U Michigan in its place?
 
Should I add any osteopathic schools this cycle? I was thinking:

Touro CA
Touro NV
CCOM
PCOM
Des Moines

Thoughts? I know applicants with my stats have about 75%-85% chance of getting an A through AMCAS, but want to ensue an A this cycle.

Patience. I'd wait to pull that trigger until we get to September. If you have no II's by then, I think you can at least try those five, but I would rather you focus on the MD secondaries for now.

Those DO schools would be appropriate to apply to. It does take some time to fill out AACOMAS even if much of it carries over. Applying in September would be fine.
 
Updates: I haven't gotten an interview in almost a month, which is fine since I've received and completed several so far. I am excited to enter next week with the potential to receive an offer from any of the three schools that are slated to make them: VCU, UC Davis, and Wayne State. I feel like I interviewed decently well in all interviews, but I feel that I did my best in my VCU interview.
 
Well, today has yet to yield an A. But I only expected Wayne potentially, since VCU releases tomorrow and Davis releases a little after the 15th. I'll count my blessings though since I avoided a few pre-II R waves (Rochester/Dartmouth/Boston/TCU). Hope to update this soon with an acceptance!

Did not receive the A at VCU (no decision). WL at UC Davis. Still no decision at Wayne State.
