Hi everybody. I asked for help making a school list a little over a month ago, but I didn't have my official verified gpa information.

A quick rundown:
Non-trad worked as a med tech for 5 years, the last 1.5 as a supervisor
cumulative non-science gpa 3.42 with retakes Post bacc non science 3.94 @21 hours
cumulative science gpa 3.49 with retakes Post bacc science 3.69 @70 hours
MCAT 34
Shadowed FM D.O. ~50 hours
Volunteering ~ 80 hours ongoing
Ohio resident

My app was verified today and my current list is :

AZCOM
CCOM
Des Moines
OUHCOM
PCOM
Kirksville
Pikeville
WVSOM
Edward Via - Virginia
KCUMBCOM

What other schools should I add to my list?

I do not have a recommendation for your school list but I am curious about your EC. Is the 80 hours of volunteer clinical?

Yep

Hey man! With your stats, I think you have realistic shots at all DO schools. Apply to as many schools as you can afford to. For me, it would just boil down to location. Just look at where you want to live and apply accordingly.

I think you have a shot at MD too if you want to try for it next cycle. But since you've already applied DO, you will probably get a DO acceptance which you mut accept!

You have a decent shot at any DO schools!

Thanks for the replies everybody. I really just want to make sure I put out enough applications to get an acceptance.

I think my list is pretty good, but are there any schools that are obvious choices if I wanted to add maybe 5 more?

I'm pretty certain that with the list you have now, you'll get an acceptance.

I would be surprised if you didn't get in with those stats and that list.👍

Thanks for all of the positive comments. I think I will add a few more anyway just in case. I would hate to not get in this year over a few hundred dollars in app fees.

Was the post-bacc like a SMP or a DIY undergrad post-bacc/re-takes. Just curious, what the GPAs mean in your app! please!

From what I understand, AACOMAS puts everything after your first B.S. into post-bacc. In my case, that is a one year medical laboratory science program (all of the fourth year classes from a B.S. in medical laboratory science) that I did immediately after my B.S. and then a year and some change working on a second B.S. in biology about 5 years years later.
