@Goro @Faha Thank you for the extensive list! I guess I'll be applying to 20+ MD schools. I want to apply to about 10 DO schools to be safe. What are some DO schools that I should look into? University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine is the closest DO school from my home I think.

UNECOM
PCOM
NYITCOM
LECOM (both), but are you OK with mandatory lecture attendance and dress codes?
VCOM
CCOM
MUCOM
Touro-CA
KCU
IF not the LECOMs, add DMU
maybe ACOM or LMU
