Hello I’ve begun making the list of schools I’ll apply to. I’d prefer MD but I really don’t want to end up being re-applicant so I want to apply broadly and include some DO schools. I want to give myself a really good chance at getting in somewhere. I’m wondering if my list is way too top heavy? I’m thinking I probably have way too many reaches. I’d appreciate any suggestions on schools to remove or add.
