What is your resident state?

One MD school that I will definitely be applying too, just don't want to dox myself lol. I really do not want to have to retake as 508 is such a grey area but just looking to start a school list.

You'll probably get lists based on stats, but understand your mission fit determines your success, which includes your geographic region. I don't think identifying your resident state will identify you, but it is your decision. Your help will be limited without more information. We are not mind readers.

You already should know which schools are affiliated with the health systems you work with in the clinic start-up.

You have many state public schools on your list that admit few applicants with no connection to the state or region. Rush and Loyola expect many hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering. I suggest these schools with your stats:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Albany
Hackensack
Penn State
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
Wake Forest
NOVA MD
Belmont
Tulane
TCU
Creighton
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)
