Einstein was a donation. Ditto for "Penn" if it was U Penn and not Penn State. If the former and not the latter, add the latter.

What ethnicity are you? If Hispanic, please clarify. Do you have service to communities of color?

Add some more DO schools, just not the ones on my Bad Boy list.
For MD, I suggest:
Oakland B
Albany
Wake
U Miami
Western MI
Alice Walton
Roseman
Gtown
Loyola
Tufts
Netter
Hofstra
Belmont (reported to have financial issues)

Yep it was Penn state! and yes hispanic. Community service wise I have soup kitchens and food drives where I interacted with diverse people and helped translate for Spanish speaking families which I briefly wrote about in my primary. Also did all my EMTs in a very rural area.

If you live in eastern Paa, add Gerisinger

It would help if you formatted your WAMC profile according to our template.

Are you from Ohio? OU-HCOM significantly favors those from Ohio.

Sorry! adding the template now I rarely use SDN so I'm getting used to it. And I have immediate family in Ohio which is why I applied.

[Mr.Smile12]

What do you mean by having immediate family? You did NOT grow up in Ohio? I would have added NEOMED if you grew up in the Appalachian region. I would also consider ETSU, Pikeville, and WVSOM. You did mention not growing up in the United States, so these recommendations come with some hesitation since I don't know how you describe your mission fit.
