Am I going to get in this cycle with this list or should I apply to more schools?

Top Heavy? I think you have a great shot at any DOs and some MDs

@Goro what do you think?

Hi I've applied to the following list of DO schools this cycle.
MSUCOM
NYITCOM-Old Westbury campus
CCOM
PCOM-Philidelphia
UNECOM
TouroCOM California
NOVA

My stats are
CGPA:3.44 SGPA:3.4 (Strong upward trend with 3.8+ my last few semesters) from a top 10 public school in the country
MCAT: 510(126/125/129/130)
ECS: 200 Hours clinical volunteering , 100 hours shadowing , 100 hours volunteer tutoring for nonprofit, 1 year of undergraduate research, 1 year of NIH IRTA Postbacc Research.
Letter of Recs: I have 5 total. 2 from science professors, one from non-science professor, one from my premed advisor and one from a DO I shadowed.
State of Residence: Virginia

Any people that had similar stats had success with the following schools? Is my list too top heavy for my stats?

It's a fine list, but I can't recommend Nova.

Consider adding:
KCU
AZCOM
VCOM
Both Westerns
KCU

You'll get in somewhere, but why not applying to homestate DO?
Possible danger of too few schools.

Note - MSUCOM is a fantastic school that will run you 80K in tuition alone

OP likely applied to home state MDs

Just curious as to why OP would overlook VCOM. He'd be a shoe in.

Top heavy as far as DO schools... he could be right. MSUCOM, CCOM and PCOM are tough schools to get into and that's half his list.

I just want to get out of my home state. I've been here my whole life and I know I shouldn't be picky when it comes to medical schools but I would really hate to spend another 4 years here interacting with the same people I've known my whole life(I have a lot of familiar faces at vcom).

Respectable. Good luck!
