You have low chances for MD but you could try U Maryland, Quinnipiac, Oakland Beaumont, Rosalind Franklin, Drexel, NYMC. Your good GPA and EC's may attract attention.

What about DO schools? @Faha

 

[Faha]

Which DO schools are you interested in?

 

[docturooooo]

PCOM, NYIT, Rowan, Michigan state U, LECOM, University of New England, Touro, Midwestern in IL, NSU-COM, LUCOM, mostly PCOM and NYIT though. What do you think? I am planning on applying to about 25 schools though, I saved since my freshman year as a server for this.
Thanks! @Faha

Michigan State has a strong instate preference (over 90%) and the OOS tuition is high. Add a few more schools such as WVSOM, VCOM and CUSOM.

@Goro @Faha
What do you guys think about Marshall SOM or Loyola Stritch? Or the lower-mid tier schools? I found a bunch of MD schools that I think I can get an interview in.
Also does it help to know someone on the board of admissions at certain schools?
Thanks!

 

[Faha]

Which MD schools are you thinking of applying to? Are you a West Virginia resident?

 

[docturooooo]

MD resident but also a Chicago because that's where family lives as well

@Faha

Marshall accepts mainly West Virginia residents and you are below the 10% percentile for Loyola on the MCAT and Loyola interviews less than 5% of applicants who are OOS.

MCAT score is circling the drain for MD.

I suggest:


Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Oakland U Beaumont
Loyola
WVU
MCW
Creighton
VCU
Albany
U MD

Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, or LUCOM, for different reasons.
