jujumonster Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello I need help narrowing down my list of MD schools down to 15 (Due to financial problems). My cGPA is 3.75, MCAT 509 (126/127/127/129). I have above average ECS but nothing exceptional. 1. George Town 2.George Washington 3. RosyFranklin 4. Kentucky 5. Oakland 6. Central Micghigan 7. Jefferson Kimmel 8. Tulane* 9. Wayne State 10. MaryLand 11. Suny UpState 12.Einstein 13. NYMC 14. UCONN 15. Mich. State 16. Meharry * 17. Virigina Common 18. St Louis 20. Wisconsin I think getting rid of Meharry and Tulane would be best. I am not usually the race that Meharry seems to accept alot of (I am west asian) and Tulane isn't so canadian friendy?

Keep Meharry if you have any community service or underprivileged volunteering. I know 3 very caucasian friends who have interviewed there over the years.

jebelali Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Get rid of uconn (doesn't accept internationals, heavy IS bias) and VCU (took forever to review my app only to tell me after they finished interviewing that they would like to interview me very much and to expect an email). Georgetown may be low-yield as well. George Washington may be low yield as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgetown may be low-yield as well. George Washington may be low yield as well. I'd keep VCU, have seen Canadians get accepted there. How much does each individual school cost anyways, 30$? I wouldn't cheap out at this stage, since you don't know how your app will be reviewed by different schools. It can be very random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given the cost of US schools, if an extra 100$ or so is a dealbreaker, then they might run into much bigger problems with financing the school later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebelali Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 ^True but OP is looking to narrow down their list. Check out the SDN VCU thread from last year and see how many people were not reviewed before their interview season ended. It is 35$ or so to add a school for primary but secondary fees are a whole 'nother level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked, Wisconsin didn't accept internationals. Not sure if it has changed, I might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
