MD2B2019 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 My personal experience, you should add Case Western, Wayne State and SUNY Upstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Take your missing pre reqs to broaden your application pool. Though not all schools require pre reqs at time of application, some just want it before you start. The same USMD lists are posted on this forum over and over. Just go get that and apply to them all.

011235813 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 My personal experience, you should add Case Western, Wayne State and SUNY Upstate. Case Western has changed their rules. They now only accept US citizens as of this cycle. (SOURCE: MSAR, and I know someone who works on their admissions staff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(SOURCE: MSAR, and I know someone who works on their admissions staff) Yes, Case has unfortunately changed their rules. However, you can still apply to the college program (CCLCM).
