Hi Everyone! Thanks in advance for all the help.
I am narrowing down my list of schools, and I am looking for feedback (what schools to add, remove, etc. based on my stats).
Here is my school list. Ideally I'd like to apply to 20 with confidence that I'll get into a least one.
Goal Schools:
USF SELECT
Georgetown
Temple
Jefferson
George Washington
Boston
Tufts
Commonwealth
Drexel
Wake Forest
Tulane
USC Keck
Dartmouth
Penn State
Rush
Rosalind Franklind
Loyola-Stitch
Creighton
Schools I'm not sure if I should add or not (I'm not too fond of the location of some, but I'd suck it up if it meant an acceptance)
Quinnipiac (location)
Eastern Virginia
Virginia Commonwealth
Brown (reserves a lot of spots for their undergrad students)
U Miami
Virginia Tech
Vermont (location)
Rochester (location)
New York Medical
Hofstra
Einstein
Albany (location)
Oakland Beaumont (location)
Pitt, Penn, & Yale (because sometimes miracles happen lol)
UCLA
*** also please suggest any other schools that you think I should add to the list
