U Wisconsin and Ohio State admit few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state. You could add these schools:
Hackensack
Belmont
NOVA MD
Tulane
TCU
Creighton
Wayne State
Alice Walton (when it opens)
Roseman (when it opens)

Thank you so much, I was specifically wondering about UW and OSU and their OOS tendencies!

In this case, should I also remove Indiana? Although they have a large class size, their OOS matriculation rate is even less than that of UW's (22% for Indiana, 30% for UW)

What is the 10th percentile for IU’s MCAT and GOA?
It’s not that you are OOS, it’s your stats that screen you out.

IU - 505, 3.51
UW - 503, 3.45
OSU - 503, 3.45

How would I be screened out with a 510 and 3.68?

 

[candbgirl]

Because you are an OOS applicant with no significant ties to the state.
Obviously you want to apply to those schools. And of course you can. It’s your application.

UW OOS are almost all from states in the Northwest that have a contract with UW to admit residents from those states. Indiana admits ~80 non residents yearly so it is worth trying.

That’s Washington not Wisconsin

By UW, I mean Wisconsin, not Washington. However, I still think you're partially correct in that idea bc the map distribution on the MSAR for Wisconsin shows mostly neighboring states in the midwest

Would adding UMass Chan be a bad choice?

Your stats are not competitive for UMass.

What's your input about UConn? My stats are more in line (still not great), but OOS % is in the low 20's

My cousin who's a pediatrician did her residency at UConn and now lives in Avon (like 10-15 minutes from Farmington) do you think that would help or no?

No.

No.

Do you think 26 schools is too many to apply to, or perfectly reasonable given my stats? Money isn't an issue, I'm more worried about the amount of secondaries I'll have to write

30 schools are not too many to apply to with your stats.
