23yo, southern white male, no hardship (yep, I'm screwed
)
Primarily interested in DO, but will happily go to MD if possible. Will be applying as soon as my transcripts are released from summer semester - approx. 1st week of Aug.
AL resident. Applying MD for my two in-state schools:
UAB
South Alabama
Casting a wide net with my DO choices, arranged in no particular order:
ACOM
VCOM (Virginia Campus)
LMU-DCOM
RVUCOM
DMU-COM
KCUMB-COM
AZCOM
CCOM (my DO letter is from an alumnus here)
NYIT-COM
GA-PCOM
PNWU-COM
So... assuming you didn't fall asleep reading all of that, what are my chances??
And are there any schools that I should be including/excluding from my current list? My DO list is not set in stone & I would like to add another MD school if I can.
Thanks!!!🙂
