Hi, I am planning on reapplying during this next cycle and was hoping for some advice on a school list. This will be my second time through the application cycle. I applied to six schools last time, was denied at four and an alternate at two. (Denied: Geisel/Dartmouth, Netter/Quinnipiac, Cooper/Rowan, Larner/UVM. Alternate: Penn State, and Robert Wood Johnson) Should I apply to these schools again? How many schools should I apply to and should I apply to DO schools? Below are some of my stats:
NJ Resident, White, Male
Top 25 private university
3.70 GPA
3.61 sGPA
MCAT: 517 (130/128/129/130)

~200 hours neurology research, mostly wet lab recently more clinical
~400 hours of shadowing across various specialties (includes summer program)
~50 hours volunteering in local community
President of pre-professional club in college
Member of a number of other extracurriculars
I have accepted a job working as a clinical research assistant next year in the neurology department at one of the top medical schools in the country.
