Your list is long, but I guess you're compensating for low GPA and DAT. Have you kept in contact with anyone from your networking like at Tufts or UM?

Yes I had to keep it very broad. No I haven’t kept in contact with any of the schools. Do you have any advice for me?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

First why Meharry? If you are not Black and/or SED, you may not have a strong mission fit.

USC only if you want the high cost of attendance. $600K in debt is insanity.

Roseman has a 3 year curriculum. Your academic credentials don't match well.

Maryland prefers in-state applicants, and your credentials don't match up as an OOS.

What feedback did you get from your previous application?

Nope

 

[macsak]

Nope

you should answer mr smile's post

i agree that UMich and UMaryland are your biggest reaches
and meharry is an HBCU, so there's that
but you did have a broad list otherwise
