Hey all,
It's my first time applying to medical school, just looking to hear some other's thoughts on my chances/school list.
1. cGPA/sGPA: 3.44/3.69. Degree is in Management (4.0 the last 2 years in a DIY postbacc)
2. MCAT Score: 519
3. State of residence: MN
4. ORM
5. Undergraduate institution: No name state school, not scoring me any points
6. Clinical Experience: 2100 hours as a Nursing Assistant at a hospital (paid)
7. Research Experience: None
8. Shadowing/Specialties represented: 20 hours hospitalist, 20 hours orthopedic surgeons, several more scheduled for this summer in many specialties FWIW
9. Non-clinical volunteering: ~300 hours at camps for kids and adults with medical conditions/disabilities, as well as ~100 hours through my fraternity in college doing a lot of random things, Salvation Army, etc
10. Other ECs: Tutoring biology and chemistry, also worked at one of those camps for kids with medical conditions for 3 summers. Was president and VP of my fraternity for a year each
11. Some scholarships I dont remember at the moment, Greek Man of the Year from my school, fraternity awards like brother of the year, excellence in office, etc
12. Anything else? I have a degree in business, have shadowed both OTs and PAs previously before realizing I wanted to be a physician.
Current school list: (want to remove/refine to 25 MD schools). Should I add DO schools?

What should I add/remove? Too many low yields? Not enough reaches? Should I apply DO? What do you guys think? @Goro @gyngyn @Faha
