Please help creating a realistic targeted list! Don't want to waste my time/donate. I'm a reapplicant 2 MD II → WL for both (had a super late app).
Undergrad GPAs are trash, but I do show a huge upward trend with 10 postbacc credits, and ~60 grad credits (two masters). FAP recipient so I have to choose 20 schools wisely.
Please let me know of any schools that should be removed/added!
