Hi everyone. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in advance. I just received my MCAT score, and I'm pretty ecstatic about it. I'm trying to aim as high as possible while still ensuring I get in somewhere this cycle. I definitely think that my application has more of a service theme than a research theme to it, so I'm not sure if I am competitive for research heavy schools. I plan on applying to 30 MD schools, 8 of which are the Florida MD schools, and I used MSAR to pick 22 more OOS private schools. Any advice on my current list would be appreciated. I am not sure if I am applying conservatively, which might get me yield protected, or if my school list is about right. Also please let me know if any of these schools have weird preference that I do not fall under or if I am uncompetitive for any of these schools. (also please do not quote for privacy reasons <3)
