Hello! I am a current 1st year medical student. Given that I am 27 and won't be done for at least another 7 years, I have been thinking about when I would like to have my first child.

Hey Y'all, I'm currently in dental school, in which I enrolled hastily after withdrawing (with a WF) from a Big 4 Caribbean med school. Do I have any chance of admission to a DO school given my dicey academic history? Thanks!
