Schools lists so far (criteria: OOS friendly (40\~50%+), P/F, no stat *****, not rural, close to NYC or CA)
UCLA / UCSF / Boston university / Case western / University of Miami / Albert Einstein / UPitt / Cincinnati / Emory / Ohio State / Virginia commonwealth / Thomas Jefferson / Saint Louis / Temple / Drexel / Wayne state / Georgetown / Tufts / NYMC / Wake forest / Rush / Loyola / Tulane / George Washington / EVMS / Medical college of Wisconsin
** UCLA, UCSF, UPitt, and Albert Einstein are my dream schools so I just left them in my list
Are there any OOS friendly urban schools with true P/F that I missed? Or should I get rid of some schools? I want to be realistic since this is my reapp and I do not want to waste my time to write secondaries for schools that I will not be accepted..
Thanks in advance for all advices and suggestions!!
