For MD schools only Toledo, NEOMED and Wright State are possible.
Apply broadly to DO schools and I suggest these:
OU-HCOM
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
WVSOM
MU-COM
UP-KYCOM
ACOM
VCOM (all schools except Monroe)
NYIT-AR
WCU-COM
UIWSOM
TUNCOM

So you have spent any hours (outside of studying) with your faith community than clinical experience or community service where you serve people outside your own community?
