I am open to go anywhere. i want to do family practice or emergency medicine so i would even consider applying to carribean schools. Any suggestions as to where i should apply?

anybody? 40odd views and no responses...

i also am completely confident that all i need is an interview and i will be good from there. probably my strongest selling point is my ability to communicate with assertion.

Your best shot will be at DO schools, but I am not the best person to advise you on where to apply. Have you retaken any classes so as to invoke the AACOMAS grade forgiveness policy and get your GPAs higher (credit hours must be th same or greater to qualify)?

Hopefully the DO is in primary care, as that is a missing element from your shadowing.

Here are some resources that might help you:
