On 3rd cycle. Just got MCAT retake back only went up from a 507 to 508. 3.9 GPA. TX resident. ORM. 900 hrs clinical and nonclinical research. 200 shadowing. 900 PT aide hours. 150 non clinical volunteering. Would appreciate any recommendations on which OOS schools to add to my school list that my stats are competitive for and that aren’t too biased against TX applicants, reapplicants, or OOS applicants in general.

Thanks in advance!

Summarize your results from your other two attempts (interviews, decisions). Where else did you apply previously?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

No feedback from Tyler, having interviewed there twice?

Here’s is what I’m roughly planning on so far let me know if there’s any that are low yield or any that I am missing: U Arkansas, UNM, Rush, U of Vermont, Drexel, temple, Oklahoma, Wayne state, wright state, Rosalind, u of SC, Az Tucson, and MCW

OOS MD schools admit few Texas residents since they know from years of experience that Texas residents will attend a Texas school. Rush expects hundreds or thousands of hours of non clinical volunteering. New Mexico only admits ~2 non residents per year. Apply broadly to DO schools instead of OOS MD.

Honest truth is you need to include TX DO schools, and OOS DO schools. With your GPA I'm sure you were hoping for MD, but 508 is unlikely to get the job done for TX MD, and OOS MD are unlikely to seriously consider your application.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

I agree. VCOM should be on your list of DO schools as they have expressed a preference. Ask if it still exists. They have a campus in Louisiana.
