Without listing your GPA, MCAT, ECs, etc., how would anyone have a clue what schools you might have a shot at?

Virginia Tech? Although their class is very small...I think about 42 people?

University of Cinicinnati?

State of residence = Virginia. Unfortunately my state schools are not very state specific.

Thanks.

Could I please get some more suggestions?

Have you checked the other NY schools? Like SUNY Upstate/Downstate?

Out of thousands they take like 50 or less out of state students..

aren't there any better options?

Loyola. Stats are not significantly higher than yours. It's very focused on volunteerism and service.

ny state schools are OOS friendly, to the point of may be 20-30% of the people they interview are from OOS. tho i have to warn u, to get in an OOS state schools u need to be better than in state people's stats. on the side note, this makes me think to get in ny state school, the ny resident do not need as much stats as it says on the msar.

Rosalind Franklin? Albert Einstein?

 

[quiltlady]

I think Iowa has a cut off of 30 for out of state applicants.

Had already recommended RFU. AECOM is more competitive though. I tend to think.

My bad, it didn't click in my mind that RFU was Rosalind Franklin. There are too many acronyms in medicine!
