Anything else not listed you think might be important:
I have pretty severe dyslexia and have been advised by some to not disclose this if it comes up in a secondary or interview. Any thoughts?
Also here is my running list so far... would love more school suggestions (hoping to apply to 20+ schools)and recommendations if I should take any schools off. Would be interested in DO, but mostly have done research on MD schools so far... also would love thoughts on my chances of getting into these places! I am interested in schools that emphasize community service/ engagement and social justice. Not super big into research or schools that have a large emphasis on research. Thank you so much for any insight!
