Last cycle, I only applied to MCG and Mercer and am WL at both. I learned my lesson and now am trying to develop a school list. My gap year is going to be spent full-time as a Research Tech at a new lab. Also, my MCAT FL avg was 522 but of course that doesn't mean anything until I get my new score back, so depending on that score I am holding off on applying to higher stat schools.
So far I am thinking of applying to:
MCG(already applied)
Mercer
Tulane
UCF
UMiami Miller
Med South Carolina
Emory
Einstein
Dartmouth
Sidney Kimmel
NOVA Southeast
UConn
St. Louis University
Yale
Vanderbilt
USC South Carolina
Ohio State
Wayne State
MCW
NYMC
Georgetown
Any advice helps. Thanks!
