Your list is sorta all over the place. Unless you're URM I'd remove Meharry. USC and NYU are 700k to attend now, so unless you want to be buried with 6-7k a month payments for 20 years I'd also remove those. Lincoln memorial is also a brand new school and isn't fully accredited and CNU doesn't take gov loans, so you'll have to pay with private (which I do not recommend).

Throw in Louisville, Case Western, and Touro, and remove USC/NYU/Meharry (unless ORM/URM).

Your post bacc GPA is very nice to see, how many credits is that? My one concern is your DAT score. Had it been 21+ I would think you'd be in better standing. You also haven't filled out the WAMC template completely, which doing so we could provide better information.

and mwu-az(the minimum gpa is a 3.4)
the california schools fits my stats

Fits your stats, but not necessarily regionally close to you, so less of a likelihood of you moving across the country. Does your application align with the school's missions? That can often be more important than if your stats line up with a school.

i'm not telling you to add those schools, i am asking why they are not on your list
"fits my stats" is not mission fit...
 
you did your postbacc over 5 years ago?
what have you done since then (looks like you retook and improved your dat one point)?
 
WORKED AS A DA. I am now at PharmD school. I was planning to take my old undergrad grades away since it was touched way bay since I graduated in 2010. I started my post bacc in 2019 and started pharmd school in 2022. worked as a DA from 2020-2022. I have good grades in my pharmd curriculum. I went to community college in VA from 2005-2006 and transferred to a 4 yr school in 2006 where my undergrad grades are crappy so i want to delete them from my app and update my pharm grades instead. in virginia by law if you went to a 2 yr CC and got a 2.5 for 2 yrs then you can go to 4 yr school and graduate within 2 yrs.
