I will definitely be adding some DOs to my list as well, but looking for MD advice. Thanks!!! My MCAT is for sure my weakest spot, but hoping to overcome that and try my luck at this cycle! I know I am not the most competitive, but I'm hoping strong writing will help 🙂

Clarify your purpose as a physician. You have lots of healthcare exposure, but you need to boost the signal on "why you as a physician" instead of looking like you have been sampling for a career role. How much will you want schools to value your interprofessional exposure?
