okay my fellow future doctors. here is my preliminary med school applications list.
yale- the numbers speak for themselves. their class is usually close to 20% urms. plus i know a urm who went there and loved it.
u.of illinois- great to urms. they have a latino med student organization that is one of the best. only drawback is they only accept like 12% out of staters.
tulane- they love students who have some experiences abroad. their tropical medicine is world famous and you can get an mph without adding another school year.
new jersey med- have the most latino students in the u.s.
r.wood johnson(nj) second highest latino matriculants.
einstein- have a friend there right now and is in nyc. the most diverse city in the world.
columbia- maybe a pipe dream but i figure i'll give it a shot. urm numbers are 11%.... not too shabby.
cornell- i have to do it on principle. i was born in their hospital. may be i can come back full circle. ha ha ha lol
mount sinai- love their urm numbers. also have heard great things about how great they treat the students. really good school.
suny-downstate- good numbers and great clinical exposure.
case western- awesome school.15% urms and probably the best school to apply to if you are non-trad also.
ohio state- have a good dept. in the specialty i want to pursue. 10% urm...not bad
wright state- 22% urms...wow! have real good clinical exposure. however if you are not interested in primary care don't even try it.
mcp hahneman-good school in philly. 17% urms and they love non-trads and women. only drawback is a very large class(265 students)
jefferson med- good for non-trads and out of staters. but urms is 6%...uugghhhhh!
temple- some people complain that the area around campus is bad but helloooooo! we are going to be doctors! who do you think needs us the most. 18% urms.
penn- ah alas my dream school. where do i start.one of the top schools in the world. 17% urms.......yes baby! also have met a few doctors who have gone there and my goodness. if i got accepted there...i'm getting my m.d. there!
u. of pittsburgh- my second choice and they are a great school for non-trads. awesome board scores and curriculum.
michigan- i5% urms and great rep. good chances for out of staters.
michigan state u- 23% urm...hello! good clinical program but they really stress primary care.
u. of north carolina- have been to the campus many times and still have friends there. great place and school.
new york med- only 8% but have heard they like non-trads. honestly, don't know much about the school.
u. of miami- i'm going there now and it looks like a good idea. is one of the top 5 schools in terms of clinical exposure. you see it all. also great with urms!!!!!
u of south fla-state school and treat students good. awesome facilities.
florida state- the newest school in the nation. but have no teaching hospital. will be community based.state school also.
u. of fla- good school, cheap tuition but they really suck with urms. will apply any way but whatever......
there are a few more i am pondering but i hope this helped. take care guys and look forward to your responses.
