Hi! So sorry to post again but I posted before and did not get any advice on my school list. I am worried that I am being too ambitious but an having trouble finding schools I am in the range for that are not low yield. As of right now my school list feels so top heavy.
My school counselor told me to only apply to 16 but didn’t really have any input on which schools from my list I should apply to.
I would like to go to schools w other LGBTQ ppl and ideally a strong transgender health curriculum as I am interested in trans specific care and research. And for those who say it is not something that needs to be focused on with more than one lecture please go look into it it will make you a better doctor.
