Hey guys, I'm looking to mainly assess my chances for DO schools (any advice on a DO school list if I'm competitive would be greatly appreciated). My first choice is attending the MD through the SMP I'm attending this fall (50+% linkage). I'm also planning to try to send my SMP grades during the fall school year to my in-state MD schools as a reach.
