Hi everyone! I wanted to apply next cycle and would love help with my school list. I currently only have California schools. There's a lot I don't know about OOS schools so I thought this would be a good starting point for now. I appreciate any advice on how to approach my gap years and my list. I am definitely going to apply to as many schools as possible and will not be keeping my list as just California.
