Hi everyone!
I'm applying to both MD and DO programs this year, and I'm really excited about the DO curriculum. I'm currently completing a master's in exercise physiology, and I think the two would work really nicely together. I'm working on finalizing my list, and wanted to check if I was missing any glaring schools, and if you guys think I should apply to more/where.
MCAT 31
Undergrad GPA: cGPA 3.45, sGPA 3.2-- from a top 15 university
Graduate GPA: c/sGPA 3.51 (only taken science classes)
Iowa resident
1000+ hours of clinical research and several publications
About 100 hours of shadowing in various fields
Tutoring underprivileged kids in science
Graduate TA in physiology
MCAT tutor
Nationally ranked ballroom dancer
URM
I'm currently applying to MD programs as well as
DMU
LECOM
Rocky Vista
MSU
Midwestern
Should I apply to additional schools to maximize acceptance chances? Are some of these schools not worthwhile for out of staters (MSU, I'm looking at you--- although my sister lives in Michigan, so I do have Michigan ties) etc.
Any and all advice would be much appreciated!
