~120 hours of shadowing a general practice MD
-A few hours of shadowing cataract surgery and LASIK
-Just started volunteering for an organization which provides beauty treatments for terminally/chronically ill individuals
-Research for ophthalmologist entering data on outcomes from cataract surgery and LASIK to help customize formulas used

I do plan on applying to more MD schools. I'd like opinions on my chances and any recommendations on additional schools to apply to.

Thanks!

I'd say really good chances at all the DO schools, and definitely NYMC. GPAs might still too low for the UC schools; I don't have a sense yet on how they view re-inventers like yourself. Search for my colleague gyngyn's comments on UCI and UCR as they are very helpful.

I'd throw MCW, SLU and GWU onto the list, plus some more DO programs.
