Anything else not listed you think might be important
Graduated May 2022 and I was accepted into a 1 year Masters in Biomedical Sciences program at the same state university which starts in the Fall 2023 and ends in May 2024.
I would like to stay as close to home as possible with as low cost as possible. I qualified for FAP so I am looking to apply to at least 20 schools in the MD route.
My current school list is as follows:
MD:
RWJ Rutgers
Rutgers NJMS
Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University
SUNY Downtown Health Sciences University College of Medicine
Drexel University College of Medicine
Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine
Albany Medical College
Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Buffalo
UCLA (far from home I know but I felt like my stats fall somewhat within their range)
Boston University (Assuming I do well on my retake of the MCAT, more of a YOLO application)
DO: This list is what I mainly need the most help in since I know I am a low stats applicant and want to apply broadly.
Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine
Any help would be amazing, thank you!
