3.5) Which schools should I apply to?
Your best bet is to think about where you'd like to go to school and
apply there. Remember: Wherever you go, not only will you be
spending the next 4 years there, but also the odds are pretty good
that you will do your residency there as well. So don't pick
someplace you'd never want to live. Always apply to your state
school, if you have one; most (if not all) state schools give
preference to people who are state residents, and every little bit
of help counts. You should have 2-3 schools that are a real
stretch--places you don't think you could get in to but places you'd
love to go. Try to find 1-2 places that you think you have an
excellent shot at; your state school usually goes here. And in the
middle, 6 (or more) places that you think you'd be competitive at.
Finally, don't discount D.O. schools (cf 3.7).
