Looking to apply to DO school but unsure if I am even competitive enough to apply. Any suggestions for school list?
 
You are competitive for DO and can apply to your state MD school too. Get 150+ hours helping the underserved before applying (think food bank, soup kitchen, homeless shelter etc).

I suggest:

KU
KCU
KCOM (Kirksville)
PCOM
DMU
Marian
Campbell
VCOM
Touro NV
WVSOM
ACOM
LECOM
Oklahoma State
 
Apply to your instate MD school.
For DO schools I suggest these:
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
DMU-COM
MU-COM
TUNCOM
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM (all schools)
CUSOM
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
ACOM
