I applied to all NY schools and I'm afraid the other schools I've chosen are too low-yield/top-tier. Also I would like to add a few more schools so I would love any and all recommendations! Thanks!

Thank you, I will! But I did want to start prewriting secondaries before I get my score back 🙁 Is there a chance I could get any feedback?

Without an actual MCAT score it is only speculation.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

The only sure bet without an MCAT score is a plan to apply to your in-state programs.

Bump with updated MCAT

UCSD admits few non residents. Schools such as Albany, New York Medical College and Drexel will probably "yield protect" with your stats. You could add these schools:
Washington University (in St. Louis-almost a guaranteed interview with your stats)
Vanderbilt
U Virginia

Thank you so much! I will remove UCSD. Do you think I should bother applying to JHU, UPenn, or Harvard?
