Hi, I'm about ready to apply and I don't wanna spend money on schools I won't have a shot at. My stats are mid-low 3 overall and low 3 science. I haven't taken the DAT yet, but assuming I get 20 Total Science, which should I cut out/add?

BTW, I am an american citizen, but no state school or WICHE

Arizona
Boston
Case Western
NYU
Creighton
Marquette
Pacific
Nova
Temple
Pitts
Maryland
Louisville

I know it's a lot of schools but I am not the strongest applicant so I need to "improve" my chances 😳

Thanks!

Good list of schools...the only WICHIE on there is Arizona but it is private so you have the same chance as everyone else

Make sure you have good LoR's and a killer essay 🙂 I think that's what saved my butt 🙂

Some criteria that I used to narrow down to my choices are 1) location and 2) program reputation,and 3) school's acceptance stats/out-of-state student admittance. Choose schools that accept students with similar stats as you. Cost may be factor- but I wouldn't put it as one of the top priorities..since they all cost a fortune.

It looks like you picked and chose schools all over the US...the question is can you or will you be able to live far from home? Some people can, some can't...
