Disadvantaged Applicant - Was homeless for a while during high school and grew up on food stamps and other governmental benefits. No strong role models in life, and unstable home environment; focus of PS.
IA - Lacked the maturity first semester I went to college and ended up withdrawing from all my courses. When I returned to college, my pass/drop ratio was too high, and I was put on academic probation. I appealed and was reinstated and made the dean's list every semester after.
Criminal - Same semester I withdrew from courses I received an underage misdemeanor drinking charge and three DWI's in 2010. Got off probation in 2014. Completed a treatment program and have been sober for six+ years.
Other stats:
100 hours clinical shadowing - PC
125 Clinical hours volunteering in the hospital
340 hours volunteering in leadership role on campus
2300 hours working in hospital laboratory as a tech

450 hours summer research with a poster presentation.
9 years in the Army. Army Achievement Medal for leadership role
230 hours mentor for youth
On track to graduate Summa Cum Laude and will be completing an honors thesis senior year 16-17. Should be about an additional 300 hours of research not on my application.

Is there any reason to add DO schools? Since my stats are on the higher end for most DO schools would they be more likely to consider my transformation since the first semester of college almost seven years ago? I received a "priority" invitation to complete DO application due to MCAT score and wanted feedback if I should fill out this spam request?
