Arizona. Sorry for confusion
Well, I was confused because you said you had ties to two other states, so I wanted to clarify if you spent significant time in another state, especially graduating from high school.

Do your homework with schools where you want to attend. I would consider throwing in the Arizona DO schools.

Yep understood, that's why I clarified. Thanks for helpful advice.

I looked into recommended changes and agree. Removed ponce because of questionable reputation online, though. Thanks for helpful advice.
