Will apply MD and DO, any recommended schools I should apply to?

 

[Faha]

Do you have any non clinical volunteering hours ?

Do you have any non clinical volunteering hours ?

No I don’t

 

[Goro]

No I don’t

That's not going to be good for MD schools, especially given your stats.

Take a gap year and engage in service to others les fortunate than yourself.

How many should I aim for?

 

[Faha]

You should accumulate 150+ hours of non clinical volunteering such as food bank, homeless shelter, etc. . If you accumulate those hours I suggest these MD schools:
Tennessee
East Tennessee
Belmont
NOVA MD
Wake Forest
Virginia Commonwealth
Eastern Virginia
George Washington
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
New York Medical College
Albany
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Wayne State
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Creighton
Alice Walton
Roseman
Loma Linda (if you fit their mission)
For DO schools I suggest these:
VCOM (all 4 schools)
CUSOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
UIWSOM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
PCOM (all schools)

How many should I aim for?

150-200+. The schools that reward reinvention are generally service loving schools, like Albany, Gtown and Drexel. Faha's list is good, but add Gtown and KYCOM
