Hey Y'all,
I'm having trouble deciding which schools to apply to. I guess I am a non-traditional student (28 years old). I have too many choices, some of which I think I have very little chance of getting into. I am open to replacements and will apply to DO schools too. I would prefer to stay in NYS but willing to move.
