I am not retaking for the time being! I know it is lethal for MD... But I am interested in DO
EC:
Plenty of DO and MD shadowing/ plenty of hospital volunteering/ research in two laboratories for over a year/ non-clinical volunteer for 100+ hours/ compelling story rooted in creativity that shows leadership (3000+ hours)/ I build guitars from scratch as a luthier/ paid work experience since 16/ awesome LORs from distinguished faculty and a DO I know well
Demographics: White male from small town but go to top 20 research institution

A urban area is pretty important to me and ideally I would like to go somewhere with great rotations but don't we all...

DO list:
Rocky Vista CO and UT
A.T. Still Kirksville and AZ
CCOM
DMUCOM
LECOM
NYITCOM
PCOM
AZCOM
TOURO CA
UNECOM
KCUMB

Thanks to everyone in advance! Long time lurker here.
 
Consider adding PCOM-GA. Its about a 30 minute drive from downtown Atlanta. They offer research but also you can get involved with research at Emory, GSU, and Ga-tech if you want to.
 
Suggest adding both Westerns, Nova, TUNCOM, MUCOM
Thanks Goro! Do you suggest taking anything off of my list or is everything good to go? I'm not confident on OOS vs IS acceptance rate stats for DO schools...
 
You should apply to your regional and state MD schools as well. A 503 isn't quite a kiss of death for MD. Your GPA will get you love from a lot of DO schools and will probably have a few to pick from at the end of the cycle.
