<p>Can you guys please evaluate my list of potential schools and suggest any that I may be overlooking. I'm aiming for 15-20 and am a NY state resident. </p>
<p>Stats: 33Q MCAT, 3.58 undergrad GPA (biomed engineering), 3.92 grad GPA (MPH, Epidemiology). A good deal of experience including lots of clinical/epidemiological research, tutoring, and EMT.</p>
<p>List of potential schools:
Georgetown (DC)
Rosalind Franklin (IL)
Boston U (MA)
Tufts (MA)
St. Louis U (MO)
SUNY Buffalo (NY)
SUNY Stony Brook (NY)
SUNY Downstate (NY)
SUNY Upstate (NY)
Einstein (NY)
NYU (NY)
Columbia (NY)
Temple (PA)
Drexel (PA)</p>
<p>Are there any I missed out on that I might have a chance at? I realize I don't have very many reach schools. I'm thinking of adding Albany, NYMC, and Jefferson. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>How far are you willing to go West or South?</p>
<p>Not sure if you're looking towards Jesuit schools with Georgetown and SLU, but I think you'd have a pretty good shot at Creighton with your stats.</p>
<p>I also think that at some of the midwestern state schools with lower incoming MCAT scores, you'd be competitive. PM me if you want more specifics...</p>

The MPH might give you a boost at Sinai.

<p>y Sinai in particular? As i posted elsewhere, in the MSAR it says they only accept MCATs from 2007 or later (which someone else argued might be a misprint).... but i dont want to spend money applying and then get auto-rejected because my MCAT is from 2006.</p>

<p>I replied to BRM personally via PM but the answer to this part of the post is as follows: </p>
<p>I have no qualms with going west but i'm not such a big fan of the south (though i've never been there). Not particularly looking for Jesuit schools, I mainly picked according stats and location.</p>
<p>Other than the crucifixes hanging on the walls everywhere (Jesus watches the study rooms), there isn't a whole lot of jesuit-intensive stuff going on at SLU, unless you want there to be. We've got Mormons, Hindus, Muslims, all different kinds of Christians, agnostics, and even a few outspoken atheists in my class. It's pretty much a med school in St. Louis as far as I can tell after a year here. Your numbers are pretty similar to what mine were when I applied, and it looks like you'll have some post-grad, so you'd have a good chance of getting in.</p>
