Hello, just wondering my chances of admission. My top choice schools are temple, Scholl, DMU, Barry and nycpm. I graduated this may 2015 and spent my last cycle applying to MD/DO so I'm technically on my second gap year. I'm spending it working as a pharm tech and volunteering with Feeding America, and also Habitat for Humanity. Still working on PS for pod, though.

Podiatrist I've been shadowing just agreed to write me a letter, I've gotten along with him well and have been shadowing for about 40-50 hours now. I contacted two of my previous LoR writers for MD/DO apps, and asked them to change the subject towards podiatry and I've gotten those LoRs in, too.
