MD School List

This is the list of DOs I’m thinking of applying to. Are there any high ranking/good schools that accept OOS (Utah resident) that I’m missing, or any problems with that you know of with the schools on the list?

c3.65 GPA and currently waiting on MCAT score but averaged 510 on AAMC tests so I should be above average for those schools (with exception of Chicago COM and DMU COM) even if I drop a few points on my actual score. ECs are a solid mix.

More so just wanting to research which DO schools are good to apply to, and have a good curriculum/staff as well as opportunity for M3/4 rotations.

AT-Still Mesa
Chicago COM
Philadelphia COM
LECOM
NYITCOM-Long Island
Touro NY COM Middletown
Rocky Vista COM Denver
Kansas City COM
Des Moines COM
Marian COM

Impossible to advise without an MCAT score

NOORDA is is Utah. I know they're new, but it could be a good one to apply to to get an easy-ish A.

You could add these MD schools to your application:
TCU-UNT
Creighton
NOVA MD
Virginia Commonwealth
Jefferson
Oakland Beaumont
Loyola
Remove U Wisconsin since they admit few non residents with your stats and no connection to the state.

Is TCU through AMCAS or TMDSAS? Would you suggest applying to more MD or broadening my DO list?

Add the MD schools I listed. You have enough DO schools on your initial list but you could add TUNCOM, AZCOM, MU-COM
