Hey everybody I hope you are all doing fine, I had a quick question because I am not sure if I am applying to enough DO schools and if I may be applying to some wrong schools. I really want to make sure I am applying optimally and not wasting any money. Here are my stats:
  • GPA and sGPA:
    • 3.5/3.5 - upward trend last 2 years avg of about 3.7 gpa
  • MCAT score:
    • 506
  • State of residency:
    • MD
  • Undergraduate institution:
    • Public School
  • Clinical experience (volunteer and non-volunteer):
    • Hospital Volunteer: 150 hours
  • Research experience:
    • No publications or presentations about 40 hours of research
Shadowing experience: 32 hours

  • Non-clinical volunteering
    • Underserved Community Outreach Program: 150 hours
Schools I am applying to (not sure if I should add/remove any schools if I am not competitive for them):
ATSU-KCOM
AZCOM
BCOM
CCOM
DMU-COM
EVCOM- Virginia (it counts for the other 3 campuses though I think)
LECOM
LECOM-B
LMU-DCOM
MUCOM
MSUCOM
NYITCOM
Noorda-COM
NSUCOM
PCOM
RVUCOM

Not sure if I could/should apply for UNECOM as well

Thank you for taking the time to read this I would appreciate any feedback.

I would remove Noorda com and add another school that is not so new, and add UNECOM since they have a regional preference. It seems like you want to stay on the east coast I would add WVCOM, Rowan and ACOM if that's the case. I would still apply instate MD schools
