I'm an Illinois resident, URM (Mexican), low SES. cGPA: 3.45 MCAT: 502. I'm applying to a bunch of MD schools and want to apply to about 7 or 8 DO schools.
My list as of now is the following:

Chicago COM
Des Moines
Kansas City
Lincoln Memorial
Michigan State
Ohio University
UPikeville - Kentucky

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I formed this list mostly based off of geographic location, so I'm open to criticism on this list and suggestions. Thanks everyone!

What's your sGPA? Your cGPA is fine but schools don't really care about that and want to see how you performed in science classes.

I would add BCOM as a back up. I remember their mission being to help Mexico so even if you're from Illinois, being Mexican might help. I would definitely have it as back up though because it's so new.

Also, why not apppy to Marian seeing as they're close to you?
