Here is a more realistic list (the apps to UNC, Buffalo, U KY, U LOU and U Penn are all donations.
ALL OH schools, including Case
Drexel
NYMC
Albany
Wake
U Miami
Rush
SLU
Pitt (maybe)
Mayo (maybe)
Hofstra
Netter
EVMS
Creighton
Loyola
Tufts
Nova MD
Wayne State
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.
