Your GPA does not require you taking a SMP. I agree that taking care of your DAT will be more effective and cost you less. Your school list is way too long... this isn't the medical school application process.attending tufts masters biomedical science this year
@Mr.Smile12Also, what schools do you suggest I remove?
ColoradoAlso, what schools do you suggest I remove?
how did you come up with this list?Also, what schools do you suggest I remove?
Could you please advise as to which schools to take off/ where do you think my best odds lay?Your GPA does not require you taking a SMP. I agree that taking care of your DAT will be more effective and cost you less. Your school list is way too long... this isn't the medical school application process.
I chose my in state schools for financial reasons, I chose Tufts because I am doing their program, I enjoyed my info sessions with UNE, BU, Louisville, and UCONN so I put those on, and then the others I added due to them being in range with my stats. Penn and Michigan are reaches obviously but thought I would give it a shothow did you come up with this list?
Could you please explain why you believe I should take Colorado and Louisville off?Colorado
Louisville
Kentucky
Michigan
Penn
are all extremely unlikely for you to get invites
but do your own research and come back with a refined list...
don't make sense geographically and publics are more selective, so your dat scores are likely too lowCould you please explain why you believe I should take Colorado and Louisville off?
that doesn't explain your list of 24-25 schools...I chose my in state schools for financial reasons, I chose Tufts because I am doing their program, I enjoyed my info sessions with UNE, BU, Louisville, and UCONN so I put those on, and then the others I added due to them being in range with my stats. Penn and Michigan are reaches obviously but thought I would give it a shot
your best odds lay at private schools...Could you please advise as to which schools to take off/ where do you think my best odds lay?
