I am a reapplicant who previously applied to MD programs, and I am planning to apply to both MD and DO next cycle. How do I go about building a school list for DO schools? Is there a resource that lists average stats for each school and instate/regional preferences?

Apply to all DO schools since there's not many (though they keep making more)
Or classify schools by new and established. And the comlex pass rate. If you can ask students know how the professors are that's super helpful.

The DO equivalent of MSAR is Choose DO explorer. You can use that to help you.

Apply to all except:
LMU, ARCOM, RVU, Nova, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM
Avoid those new schools that haven't graduated a class yet, if at all possible.

Include UNECOM if you’re from the NE, OSUCOM if you’re from the Plains states and PacNW if you’re from that region.
