Hi SDN,
I'm creating this thread to get some help on selecting schools for the 2015 application cycle. I've been so busy with other aspects of the applications that quite frankly I have no idea where to apply. I'm willing to go anywhere for school, no reservations. Also important to note that I'm an international student.
Should I bother with MD schools? The new ones maybe? Which DO schools am I competitive for? I'm more concerned about getting in somewhere then my residency outlook at the moment. I mean I know I can't be too picky with my stats, and I feel like getting in anywhere would be a relief.
Thank you in advance for the advice.
In the following list you can also look at the schools of osteopathic medicine (resulting in a DO title), taken from aacom.org, which are considerably more open to international students (19 out of total of 29 of them accept foreigners):

From the above list, I'm thinking of applying to about 10-15 schools. But which ones?
*Double checked by me
