<p>So I want to start making a list of all of the integrated med programs that I'm going to apply to in the fall. There's so many programs to choose from and I'd like to apply to around 15 schools so I actually get into a few places and have the option of deciding where to go. How were you able to cut down your list of integrated programs and narrow in on the list of places you want to apply to? Any recommendations of where I should apply and may have a chance of getting in? My final list needs to be balanced between low-tier, mid-tier and reach schools for sure. Thanks!</p>

About the college app process, when to start essays, what to definitely do (random little things you learned while applying), what NOT to do, etc.</p>
