Thanks in advance.
GPA 3.4
BCPM 3.2
MCAT 37

Had a bad GPA for 3 years and took time off school to work. I came back, changed majors, and retook a lot of classes for another 3 years with straight A's.

Usual mix of volunteer work, some leadership, but zero research.

In-state for Ohio. Here's my list so far. Anything I should get rid of or add. MD-schools only, I will add ~10 DO schools later.

Wright State
U of Toledo
U of Cinci
NEOUCOM
Ohio State

Georgetown
EVMS
Boston
Tulane

VCU
NYMC
George Washington U
Rush
Albany
Commonwealth
Temple
Virginia Tech

I think you've done a very, very nice job of redeeming your bad first three years. Great MCAT score. I think your list is fine. Hopefully, you're particularly strong in some EC to make up for the lack of research. Research isn't essential, but even trying it briefly gets you a point when adcomms score your application. If another component is stronger than average, that will make up for its lack.
 
Thank you for the feedback. :xf:
