*What are my chances for obtaining an interview (and getting accepted to) to Harvard, Duke, UMich, Stanford, Yale, etc? If I fall short of those, what are some alternative schools where I would be competitive? And what are some good safety schools?

I have a 3.83 cumulative GPA and a 3.70 science GPA, I got a 34R on my MCAT.*

While there are no safety med schools, your “kinda safeties” may be some unranked instate public SOMs. Your stats aren’t so high that they would be certain that they’re being used as safeties.

As for those tippy top SOMs…The chances are lowish even for those with tippy top stats.

That said, why are you so concerned about those SOMs? What difference do you think those SOMs will make for you?

What schools did you apply to??
