Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: I switched from premed to predental after i graduated. I'm currently retaking Gen chem and physics since my AP credit doesn't transfer for some of the schools I'm interested in. I'm Missing A&P and Microbio which limits some of my schools.

School list:

UIC
Marquette
SIU
Minnesota
Case western
louisville
Iowa
Michigan
harvard
Uconn

UIC is top choice for instate tuition, preference for midwest. Not sure If I'm competitive enough for the last 3 schools. Any schools i should add/ drop?
