Hey guys. I'm in some serious need for help in finalizing my DO school list for applying. Here is my information.

- GPA: 3.51cGPA, 3.3sGPA
- Major: Biology/Psychology
- From Virginia
- Class of 2015 graduate from Top-10 school
- Black female
- MCAT: 499 from 1/28 after retake (125/125/125/124)
- ECs: A lot of volunteering with math/science organization for females at my school, volunteering at university hospital, nursing homes in the community, CNA work (I got my license and have been working for ~2 years now), worked as a TA for my medical sociology course

- Currently: Working as a medical assistant at a hospital. I plan to continue that into next year

My current list:

I'll defer to @Goro.

 

[Faha]

The DO and MD schools that @Goro mentioned are all good choices for you.

 

[Goro]

OP, if you wish to cast a wider net , I have more suggestions.

 

[BlueDevilSung]

@Goro just to confirm, CUSOM = Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, NOVA = NSU College of Osteopathic Medicine, KYCOM = University of Pikeville - Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

 

[BlueDevilSung]

Yes, @Goro I would like to hear your additional suggestions! I would like to cast a wider net.

 

[Goro]

Yup.

[BlueDevilSung]

What other schools would you suggest if I wanted to cast a wider net?

Just curious to know - based on my stats would you recommend me applying to a program like Drexel's DPMS or Rosalind Franklin MBS program to guarantee an acceptance/get invited to interview at medical schools?

See how this cycle goes first.
