U Washington accepts less than 1% of applicants who are not from states in the Northwest (and the majority of those appear to be MD-PhD ). You should receive interviews from your Texas schools. Let us know if you receive any interviews from OOS schools.

I'd strike Duke from the list. They pride themselves on a research/scholar year within their curriculum, and so I don't think it would be a great fit for you. Check similar curricula, including at WashU and Mayo.

Sorry I should have clarified, I specifically didn't enjoy my time in my lab because I was there for 2 semesters but the lab was so saturated they really just made me do busywork like cleaning for the majority of the time. I left because I didn't feel like I was getting anything out of it and I didn't have time to fit in research in my later semesters due to course load + extracurriculars and then MCAT studying.

Also I've updated my list by removing UW and Wash U and adding U Cincinnati and Stanford. If anyone else has any recs that would be helpful b/c I'm planning on submitting in 2-3 days.
