DO Help with school list

[Jesselacey]

Members don't see this ad.

I should be verified in the next couple of days so I am looking for some input on my school list. What should I add and maybe what should I get rid of (not sure if my list is too long)? Also, what are my chances? I ask because I feel my ECs are a little weak. Thanks for the help!

BA in Psychology/Minor in Biology
cGPA: 3.58
sGPA: 3.56
non-sGPA: 3.60

ECs:
Member of university sport club for four years. During the four years I was a line captain, treasurer, and the president for one year each.
Member of the university's United Way for one year. During that year I was the media outreach officer for a semester and community service officer for a semester.
Shadowed two doctors, one DO (family medicine) and one MD (orthopedic surgeon) for a total of 30 hours.
Paid tutor for chem, biology, micro, and physics at my college.
Hospital Volunteer 50 hours.

LOR:
3 from science professors (committee letter not available)
1 from DO that I shadowed

I haven't taken biochem so that limits me some on where I can apply.

Thanks for your response. I submitted my primary July 15, so it should be verified soon and I do plan on doing a quick turnaround for secondaries like you said. Any thoughts on my school list?

your list is good but PNWU has a regional preference so you may want to cross that one out.

OK I updated my list by deleting PNWU, thanks for the help.
Anyone else have recommendations? I would also appreciate it if someone could tell me if my ECs are too weak and if it will hurt me a lot.

I've edited my list some and was wondering if @Goro might be willing to comment on my list and my ECs (if they are weak and will hurt me any).

remove Ohio COM since they give heavy preference for Ohio residents

 

[Goro]

I'd like to see more hospital volunteering. Try to add to that and you can always send updates. TCOM also has regional preference, I believe. Suggest adding Rowan/NJ, MUCOM, DMU, and KCUMB. Your numbers are fine anywhere for DO schools, and might even attract notice at some MD schools, like Drexel or Rosy F, and the new MD schools like Netter.
