I'm planning to apply to 50 schools, but I'm having difficulty selecting which ones since my MCAT is in the top quartile and my gpa is in the bottom quartile for most schools. I went on MSAR and there's 93 schools that I believe accept CA residents, and I need to remove ~40 from my list. How many T20, mid, and low tier schools should I apply to? Are there any schools I should remove due to yield protection?
