It's a fine list. Nothing wrong with aiming high. Baylor will be a long long shot.

Add U VM, BU, Vandy, maybe U AZ, U Miami

Thanks Goro! Jw, what would Baylor a long shot for me? Also for Vanderbilt is it a concern that my MCAT is between 10 and 25 percentile on the lower end?

Baylor is along shot because so few OOSers get int there. Vandy is in striking distance. You can swap out for Tulane or Wake instead. Tufts if you're dying to go to Boston.

Thank you! Last question - what are you thoughts on low yield schools (like those on WedgeDawg's list) ? Should I avoid applying to them all together or just be keeping them to a minimum?

Keep them to a minimum and the Keck, class schools will serve as safeties, along with the UCs
