School List: THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP. I AM OPEN TO BASICALLY ANYWHERE BUT PREFER A BIGGER/ACTIVE CITY (think LA, SF, Denver, Seattle, NYC, Chicago, Boston, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Miami, Nashville, etc.). WHAT SCHOOLS SHOULD I BE LOOKING AT AND APPLYING TO? DO I STAND A CHANCE AT ANY T30 OR T20 SCHOOLS OR WILL MY MCAT HOLD ME BACK? HOPING TO APPLY TO AROUND 50 SCHOOLS.
