Cincinnati, Dartmouth, Hofstra, Miami, St. Louis are far reaches with your GPA. Illinois accepts few non residents with your GPA. You could add these MD schools:
Seton Hall
Temple
NOVA MD
TCU-UNT
For DO schools you could add these:
Touro-NY
NYITCOM
LECOM (all schools)
MU-COM
AZCOM
CUSOM
VCOM (all schools except Monroe)
ACOM

Thank you @Faha for the recommendations. I chose Dartmouth because I fit their mission almost perfectly and one of my LOR is from an MD alum. Cincinnati because I'm very interested in EM and they have a top residency.

My mods above, sorry for the formatting.

Also add Pitt, maybe Mayo, Mt Sinai and NYU.LI

 

[tunaktunak]

Also add Pitt

Just curious, what's your reasoning for this based on OP's credentials? @Goro

my guess would be the reinvention (the 90 credits @ 3.90). Pitt is favorable of re-inventors but I believe they're also research heavy so that won't play to OP's strength's. Still has a good shot though

Strong rising GPA trend and Pitt is a school that rewards reinvention
