Thank you 🙂 I appreciate it. What do you think about Keck, U Vermont, George Washington, or Georgetown?

All of those are fine too.

I just want to make sure you're not double-dipping the same 3000 hours as a CRC as both clinical experience and research since that might raise some eyebrows.

Otherwise, you have a good app! Only thing I would add is some leadership to really solidify yourself

Yeah they’re the same hours, I’ll spend more time classifying them when I have to work on apps. For or a clinical research position, how would you characterize those hours? I am down in clinic recruiting patients, and carry out study visits where I perform breathing tests, blood draw, and take history, all for clinical research studies. I have other clinical and research experience so I don’t necessarily need this in one category or the other. Thoughts?

Thanks so much!

I think if you had a hand in the study and can explain the actual research when asked, you can include it as research. If you feel more comfortable talking about it from the patient interaction angle, then it would more clinical. I think those are the two factors you should consider but I am also not an ADCOM so I would defer to those more knowledgable than me on that.

Add some DO schools on the list, especially if you get no IIs by T-giving.
Any DO program. Include UNECOM if you’re from the NE, OSOCOM if you’re from the Plains states and PacNW if you’re from that region. I can't recommend Nova, Wm Carey, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CUHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites. UIW refuses to post their Boards scores, which is fishy.
