Looks like a good list. Suggest adding more DO schools. Suggest NYIT, Touro-NY, MUCOM for starters.

Thank you!!! I'll send my application to those schools this evening. What about DMU, AZCOM, and ATSU?
Any other options for MD and DO?

AZCOM has their noses in the air and will reject anyone with a MCAT <29. DMU, CCOM and ATSU are fine additions.

Great. Thank you. I'll see what I score on my MCAT repeat and consider AZCOM if I improved.

Just wanted to update in case it helps people. I was accepted to two DO schools and my top choice MD school.

My GPA is similar to yours, as well as your first MCAT. Can I ask if you improved significantly on your new MCAT? Thanks.

Not really. PS dropped, and BS went up to 11.

What is ORM? I'm assuming over-represented?

So, does that mean Asian or white?
