Without an actual MCAT score it is not possible to devise an accurate school list. Post your score here when available. On your list ECU admits zero non residents.

Thank you for your service.

Being military/veteran gives you some flexibility where you can apply, but I suppose if your list reflects the constraints for you and your partner, I would like to know what insights you want with a school list? Some of the schools may not take you with a 510 (Harvard, Duke) so try for a high score if they are really where you want to go.

Thank you for your support. I will spend the next six to nine months or so working and studying for the MCAT. So I will certainly able to raise my score to a more respectable value.

RE: School List
While I am hopeful that we can work within our geographic limitations, it may still be wise for me to build a more robust school list, as it is most important for at least one of us to get in somewhere.

I suppose I am more looking for validation that I am not entirely out of my depth with the schools list I have thus far. I found my Lizzy and MSC Scores to both reflect poorly on the MD side of the list since they don't seem to tailor to less traditional academic paths (and the scores essentially just matched the GPA/MCAT acceptance rate chart, so I didn't get much out of them). While I recognize the importance of academics, I would love recommendations for other MD programs to add that are more likely to consider some of the less tangible aspects of my application.

Without a real MCAT it is impossible to build a school list. It’s also frustrating to say if this happens then that can/could happen. So keep studying. Come back here when you get your score and people will be glad to help you out. In the mean time build your own list based on metrics you know, like your GPAS, your state residence, where you’d like to live etc. , in state/out of state acceptance etc.
