Need Help with List of Schools

[newspore]

Hello all. Re-inventor here.

Could you please help me with a list of D.O. schools to apply to? And with my stats should I try MD schools as well? I actually submitted my application for verification yesterday - delayed by my personal statement which took longer than I expected. I know that I'm still ok for the D.O. cycle but should I still try for M.D.?

I am ORM from California. Graduated from a UC in 2017 with an upward GPA trend from my junior year to senior year.
My CGPA is 3.23 and SGPA is 3.21.
I included my postbac grades in this GPA.

35 units of postbac upper division science classes at a 4 year university - GPA 3.99.
My GPA for the last 90 units I have taken are CGPA: 3.81 and SGPA: 3.83.
Some of the classes I took include Physiology, Anatomy, Medical Microbiology, Histology, and Hematology. I also took Medical Terminology (2 units) and EMT (9 units) at different universities.

My MCAT released today was: 510

Thanks!

I recommend:
UCD
UCI
UCR (IF you’re from the Inland Empire)
Albany
Rush
Rosy Franklin
NYMC
Wayne State
Netter
Drexel
Creighton
Loyola
Seton Hall
Nova MD
TCU/UNT
CUSM

Any DO program. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CalHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites.

Suggest:
Touro-CA
Both Westerns
TUNCOM
PacNW
BCOM
AZCOM
UIW
ICOM
DMU
KCOM
CCOM
KCU
LECOM (all)
Both AR schools

Didnt mention your extra curriculars, leadership, or research. Mcat is a little light, but you might have a shot at some MD schools depending on the above.
