I've got solid LOR's, the GPA mentioned above, FL residency, and significant flight instructing/airline flying experience. My clinical experience/shadowing is solid too... about a year so far in the ER and hung out with a few specialists around town... still in the ER... nothing spectacular, but for a non-traditional I think it's fine...also went through CNA training minus their clinicals. Took the May 28th MCAT but I'm going to shoot at this one with one eye closed and apply within the next 2 days... need help crossing some of these out and maybe adding a few extras. I'm going to do the AACOMAS too if I get a sub-par MCAT score back as a backup... know a DO and it seems to fit me just fine.

Here's what I've got so far. Top choices are FL schools but I like a lot of areas around the country that I flew to as a pilot... so I based this a lot on that. There's a lot of "safety" schools, and a couple higher-tiered schools like UVA... used to live in Charlottesville right across from campus. I just edited the list and took out some that aren't OOS friendly.

Where did you end up getting accepted if you don't mind sharing? And how did you do on your MCAT?

I'm pretty sure they will tie you to the statue of Thomas Jefferson and tar and feather you if you call the grounds "campus" at UVa.
