UIUC you can get...WUSTL probably not anymore if they are raising their median to 168. I would also try GW, W&L, W&M, maybe Fordham...BC/BU like higher GPAs usually.

Would there be any benefit to trying to applying at either of these places for PT instead?
I wouldn't pay sticker at either of those places. GW PT recently got a lot harder to get into. Not sure about Fordham.

I don't have a hard science background, but I got into GW PT this cycle with a 3.1 / 167 and into Fordham PT off the waitlist.

Just so you know, WUSTL and UIUC were mostly not taking 167 splitters this year. 168+ was necessary (I got rejected at WUSTL, WLed at UIUC.)

PM me if you have any specific questions.. my LSN is the same as my username here.
