I just decided to apply DO so I really don't know where to start. Is there an Excel sheet anywhere with all DO programs and their avg matriculated MCAT and GPA scores?? I've been looking them up individually which is pretty time-consuming so if anyone has info that could help me out with that, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Top UC graduate.
cGPA: 3.55
sGPA: 3.5
MCAT: 512
2+ years of experience in the medical field as M.A.
Many years of experience as a tutor for multiple programs, including one for homeless children. Also TA'ed an upperdiv biostatics ecology class at UCSB.

On my app currently I have the A.T. Stills, AZCOM, LECOM, Nova, Touro in CA, Univ of the Incarnate SOM, and the Western University of Health Sciences.
I'm trying to not end up in the middle of nowhere.. So any schools literally in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't be too eager to apply to unless they're good schools.

Thanks SO much! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

With your stats honestly you could apply to any of the DO schools and have a really good chance to get in. PCOM and CCOM would fit what you're looking for in terms of not being in the middle of nowhere. NYITCOM would also. But again, you can apply to any of them and likely get in.

There is a xcel sheet on here somewhere with the averages... but you're at least at or higher than all of them, and significantly so. Again, apply to whatever DO school interests you.

With those stats apply to private OOS MD schools. There are quite a few. You're well above any DO average and pretty good for places like drexel, MCW, Wake forest, New York medical college, CNU (despite the sdn disdain for it), all California schools you might get lucky, etc. There are a lot of low to mid tier MD schools that you're competitive for.

If this is your second time applying I would still apply to 25-30 MD schools then throw about 8-10 DO ones.
