DO MCAT: 26 , sGPA: 3.69 , cGPA 3.49 and School List

[Steele]

So my stats are as follows:
MCAT: 26 , sGPA: 3.69 , cGPA 3.49

All science courses were taken as post-bac except for a B in an environmental geoscience course I took the sophomore year of my undergrad.

In 2011 I trained for and passed the National Registration for EMT (NREMT), but the certification has since lapsed.

Completed Georgetown University's Post-Bac Pre-Med program last year, which will be writing my committee letter in August, and finished the last of my pre-reqs just this spring.

Research in peak troponin level standardizations for different races/BMI at Georgetown (pending publication).

125+ hours of volunteer as a patient advocate at a local hospital, 20+ hours of DO shadow, and 30+ hours of MD shadow (20 hours under a surgeon).

Have been working as a science, writing, and math tutor at my current college since Nov. 2014 at 20 hours per week.

I'm really curious about my school list, and would appreciate any assistance in weeding out any or any that I should add. I'm specifically looking for DO schools with an emphasis on international medicine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

(Do people normally apply to 20+ schools? I feel like my list is quite long.)

A.T. Still University, School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, AZ

That is a long list, your stats are pretty decent to get you in somewhere. I would try and cut it down to 15 Max, throw out the places where you would not realistically want to end up living.

Yes. That's what I was thinking too.

Does anyone know of any DO schools except for VCOM that emphasize international medicine?
(I have an issue with religious medical mission trips which VCOM seems to focus on, especially after reading this thread: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/vcom-right-wing-christian-coalition-dream-come-true.218422/)

RVUCOM allows for your 3rd and 4th year rotations to be done at an international site of your choice. I think you just have to get it approved by both schools, look into it!
