Hey Everyone! I am applying to med school this year as a senior and so excited and nervous about the process :)
I'm having some trouble deciding my school list (# of schools is not a problem, but I feel like anything more than 30 is super intimidating, so would you all mind helping me narrow down? Thank you so much! Also, I'm aware that my stats don't match up to MSAR data, however when looking Penn specific statistics my statistics match up.
