UCLA and UCSD will be a waste of money. Otherwise, your list looks pretty solid. Apply to both U AZ schools.

Thanks Wedge. Any other schools that I'm missing or overlooking?

Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head except for maybe Georgetown, but I also don't have a great mental list of low-tier MD schools 🙁 sorry

More low tiers:
Rush
WVU
Albany
Loyola
Jefferson

Depending on your state of residence there are obviously some state schools you should cut from your list. Cut northstate.

Edit: missed CA resident status. Cut USF, IU, UCLA, UCSD, Stryker (very small class, OOS),

USF has strong IS preference for Florida Residents...

Agree with the above. Also, ditch IU and USF. Only other school I can think of to add is Tulane.

Do these schools really have that strong in state preferences? I added IU and USF because of MSAR. USF accepted 50 OOS last year and IU accepted 90 which I thought was a pretty good amount

 

[Goro]

I suggest:

Rush
NYMC
Creighton
Albany
Rosy Franklin
Drexel
Temple
Loma Linda (but read their list of don'ts)
MCW
St. Louis U
WVU
Jefferson
Creighton
Tulane
Loyola
U Miami
Wake Forest
EVMS
VCU
Oakland-B
Western MI
UCS
UCI
UCR IF you're from the Inland Empire
Any DO program, starting with Western, Touro-CA, AZCOM, TUNCOM, SOMA and Western-OR

Thats true to both schools, but usually need a compelling reason to be applying there...strong state ties or a very specific interest in the program. If youve got those go for it!

Having stats clearly above their average is really the reason one should be applying their OOS
