Hello! I would appreciate some help with coming up with a school list, as this is my first application cycle. Here are my stats from AACOMAS:

cUndergrad: 3.58 with strong upward trend: 3.21 > 3.55 > 3.89 > 3.91 (Senior GPA spanned 3.5 years)
cGrad: 3.92
Overall: 3.62
cScience: 3.79

28 y/o URM, Female, California

MCAT: 510

Thank you!!
 
You’re fine for any DO school. I hope you apply MD as well
 
Which URM group do you belong to ? If Hispanic are you fluent in Spanish ? Do you have any physician shadowing hours or clinical volunteering or employment with patient contact ?
 
Yes I am Hispanic, and I do speak Spanish. I am currently employed as a scribe, I have ~1500 clinical volunteering hours, and I have officially shadowed physicians in inpatient and outpatient settings for only 50 hours or so (although I shadow throughout my clinical volunteering)
 
You should apply to the established DO schools, and definitely some middle/low tier MD schools. For DO off the top of my head:

Touro-CA
Des Moines
ATSU-KCOM
PCOM
KCU-COM

Apply LECOM if you want to save money, apply to AZCOM/CCOM/MSUCOM if you want to spend that $$$$$.

I suggest applying to all these MD schools with your stats:
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC Riverside (if you are from that region)
UCSD
USC Keck
Kaiser
California University
Loma Linda
Quinnipiac
Tufts
New York Medical College
Hofstra
Einstein
Seton Hall
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Georgetown
George Washington
NOVA MD
Miami
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
