Preferences: I would like to enter a program focused on rural medicine, and while being competitive for T20s would be nice, it's not a main focus for me to go to a highly prestigious school. Schools with good international clinical rotations is a bonus. I was approved for fee assistance, so I plan to apply to ~20 schools.
