Need Help with OOS MD list!
non-traditional, re-applicant, TX resident
~3.5 cGPA ~3.1 sGPA (upward trend in last few semesters, Dean's list in last three)
MCAT 29(P10, V9, B10), 25(P8, V9, B8), 29(P11, V10, B8)
Elected officer positions in two different student organizations for over 3 years
>3000 community volunteering hours (tutoring, etc.)
~100 hospital volunteering (during high school)
>200 hours of shadowing/medical observership
>200 hours of clinical research
Paid, full-time research at a top institution, past 2 years with 5+ publications
Strong LoR's from two upper-level science professors, one non-science professor, and my current PI (MD, PhD)
*EDITED
---
I will be applying to MD and DO programs and will have completed all primaries and sent in all LoR's and transcripts by early June.
My previous application failed mostly because my MCAT had dropped, my application was very late, and my essays were not that great. I had applied to ~30 schools, but was not surprised when I wasn't invited for interviews...
I need your help:
1) What are some OOS MD and DO schools I should apply to? (I'm already applying everywhere in TX)
2) What are my chances with my current application?
3) If I'm not successful this cycle, what should I do to improve?
Thanks
