Suggest replacing Penn State with TCMC, maybe Albany as well, and adding the two NY Touros. VCOM isn't too far away either.

If you have the sufficient finances, I think you should apply to 20-25 schools. Think of adding: Frank Netter, Rosalind Franklin, Medical College of Wisconsin, St. Louis, Creighton

MD: I'd also add VCU to the list...they accept a good amount of out of state applicants and your scores would be competitive there

DO: apply wherever you want because you'll get accepted to just about any DO school. If you want to stay more local then keep your list as is, if your up to get out of the area then add VCOM, Marion, MSU, and LMU since I've been there and thought these are all great programs

I think he has the stats to get into most DO programs, but some require DO shadowing experience. I would definitely pickup a few hours.

Hofstra has a new program. Could be worth adding it. I agree with the previous poster- you should aim for approx 25 schools.
