Looking good for any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY or LUCOM. Do a search and you'll see why.

Thanks for the encouragement Goro! I feel as if my list is fairly short and contains some very competitive programs that I may not be very competitive for. Should I try to add some more schools?

Try DMU instead, or OHCOM.

I went through my list last night. Theres 17 schools, I'm fairly confident that I'll get some love with that. I'll update this post throughout the cycle. Thank you for the help!

How do I look?
 
Looking quite good! I suggest adding UNECOM to the list.

Also, if you GPAs are similar when calculated via AMCAS, suggest adding the SUNYs, NYMC and Albany.

Thanks for the advice Goro! If my finances allow, I will add the MD schools in the mix.
 
Status update:

I want to follow up and say how my cycle has gone for anyone with similar stats applying in the future. I applied to 17 DO schools in mid September and was complete at most throughout september and october. I received 4 II so far, have attended 2 interviews in October and November and I have withdrawn from the other 2 II, I am waiting to hear back from one school and have been accepted to one school. I'm going to be a doctor!

I will continue to update when everything else comes in.
