I understand I am applying late in the cycle, so does anyone have an recommendations for where to apply with a 29 MCAT and a 3.98. I have several EC's and leadership positions and volunteer/internship experience. (Preferably a school with non-rolling admissions). Thanks.

Wait have you submitted your primary yet? If not you are way too late especially with a weak MCAT.

The obvious choice would be your state school. You would have the best shot there

With those out of the way, focus your efforts on schools with similar matriculant statistics. Pick up a copy of the MSAR and see what's a good fit.

Yes, I've submitted my AMCAS and have applied only to Arkansas so far.

Well there are three schools that I know of off the top of my head that are non-rolling (or at least less-rolling if that's a term😉). However, you already missed the deadline at Yale and OHSU, so that leaves one school: Loma Linda, which doesn't even start interviewing non-SDA applicants until January. You have to keep in mind the religious nature of the school and their lifestyle agreement
