Hi all! I'm trying to finalize my school list, I'm not looking to apply to much more than 20 bc $$. My personal statement is centered on running and nutrition and bringing my skills from that into medicine. I don't love some of my in-state schools but I've been hearing that I should still apply to them all for the in-state advantage. If anyone has any advice or thoughts on which schools to cut out/add please let me know!
