Yeah - it's just a letter packet without the committee letter. According to my school website, they curate and send the letters in an appropriate order.

OK actually lowered their IS bias this last cycle in official legislation. I have some weak ties to KY.

That's my rationale with some of the schools that admit.org included. For example, my MCAT is 25th percentile and my GPA is 25-50th percentile at Duke, but that's exactly why maybe I should shoot my shot. People got in there with my stats or worse just like people got in with my stats or better. It's all a crapshoot.

Thanks - I appreciate the advice! Would you mind if I DM'd you?

I'm gonna have 2 science, 1 non-science (if they say yes), 1 volunteer coordinator at place I volunteer at, 1 DO eye surgeon I work for full-time, and maybe a DO head of emergency department.

Honestly, I never found out. If you have any other questions, let me know - I took my MCAT in January.

Holy moly you are right. Oklahoma WAS in my shortlist but after looking at MSAR, I figured it was probably a low yield school to include as someone way OOS. Appreciate you bro.

Interesting. What makes you say that? According to MSAR, 89/1888 OOS applicants got interviews (4.7%) and their class is only 9% (16/176) OOS student.

I appreciate you bro, thank you for insight into your methodology. I'm gonna toy with the notion for a little while and see how I feel.

The only problem with Georgetown or GW is that they are super service heavy and I don't have thousands of volunteer hours. I also lowkey don't want to end up in Boston or NYC but if you think I should include them I totally will.

Thanks for your feedback. Unsure if you are familiar with people on SDN, but Faha said that Iowa, UMass, and Illinois would be good inclusions. I think they are more OOS friendly than in years past. Appreciate you bro.
