Your GPA and multiple MCAT attempts make Harvard, Chicago, NW, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, NYU, Vandy, WashU, UVA and Baylor all extremely improbable. I’d include Mayo on that list, but you’re IS so why not, I guess.

Your best targets are schools like: Miami, Jefferson, Pitt, Michigan, Hofstra, Emory, USF, USC, Ohio State, Dart, NYU-LI, SLU, Tufts, Cincy, Einstein, Western MI, and Rochester.

You can shoot for the stars and reach on a couple, but I wouldn’t add more than 6-7. And in that 6-7, you have to include: BU, Case and CC if you apply because those are clear reaches.

Remove these schools for IS/regional bias:
Wright State, Toledo, WVU, UTSW

Caution: Loma Linda gives heavy preference to Seventh-day Adventist applicants. Rosalind Franklin is extremely low-yield. Illinois’ OOS tuition is outrageous.

Thank you so much for your response!
I got a question though:
Isn't TCU-UNT in-state biased?

By the way, what is the full name of CC?

No it is not.

Cleveland Clinic. You listed it on your original list.

TCU-UNT is a private school in Ft Worth. They have no IS funding preference and are part of the AMCAS so you don’t have to fill out the TMDSAS.

I agree with the wise Faha. OP, you had a lot of donations on your list.

Just out of curiosity, are you a Seventh Day Adventist or extremely devout Christian?
