[kilynn]

Hello! Thank you to everyone who is able to take the time to make recommendations and give any advice. I appreciate all the valuable help/support!

• My cGPA is 3.6
• sGPA is 3.3 (with upward trend)
• MCAT 511
• White
• Attended state school
• Clinical - volunteer: ~50 (projected 250)
• Clinical - paid: 4,000 (working as a CNA/PCT at multiple facilities/hospitals) (projected 5,500)
• Research: none in lab, ~50 (senior literature thesis)
• Non-clinical - volunteer: 280 (crisis counselor) (projected 350)
• Leadership: 350 (TA, peer mentor for incoming freshmen, preceptor)
• Shadowing: 175 (DO across specialties)
• Relevant honors: Dean's list in final year
• Other ECs: multiple clubs/orgs on campus, scuba diving, botany, weight lifting
• Below are my MD schools I have on my list:
  • U of AZ - Tucson
  • U of CO - Anschutz
  • U of MN
  • Brody
  • U of ND
  • U of NM
  • U of NV
  • OR SOM
  • Drexel
  • U of WA
  • WA St. Uni.
• DO schools on my list:
  • AR COM
  • AT Still - AZ
  • AZ COM
  • RVU - CO
  • Des Moines - IA
  • ID COM
  • Chicago Midwestern
  • Marian Uni. - IL
  • Kansas City COM
  • DeBusk - TN
  • Meharry - TN
  • Touro - NV
  • OK St COM
  • PCOM
  • PNU COM

I'm looking mostly for advice for any stand out schools I should add/remove for any reason (doesn't take many OOS, fits my stats better, etc). There are some schools that are within my stat range that I could not consider myself attending so I have left them off my list. Also it is worth noting that I am trying to stay as close to CO as possible, both mine and my SO's families live here and family/culture/environment in this area are important to us.

You have several MDs that take few OOS schools. Chances best at your state school and DO given your lower sGPA.

Try the following:
Colorado
Drexel
Temple
Quinnipiac
George Washington
Hackensack
Albany
NYMC
Vermont
Oakland

DO:
NYITCOM-AR
AT Still - AZ
AZCOM
DMU
CCOM (high tuition FYI)
Marian
KCU
Touro NV
PCOM
PNWU COM
Western’s NW campus if you want

Most of the OOS MD schools on your list admit few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state (for example, Brody admitted zero non residents last year). I suggest these MD schools with your stats:
Colorado
TCU-UNT
Creighton
Loyola
Rush
Rosalind Franklin
Medical College Wisconsin
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Hackensack
New York Medical College
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
For DO schools I suggest these:
TUNCOM
WESTERN
TUCOM-CA
UIWSOM
ACOM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
CUSOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
PCOM
WVSOM
LECOM
