11. Relevant honors or awards
12. Anything else not listed you think might be important- while was I very fortunate to not have to fully support myself through college, I did work part time throughout and full time in summers. Worth mentioning, I was essentially raised by a single mother as my father had battled substance abuse for most of my early childhood. He was able to get sober for a while but passed from away from cancer last year. I believe my LOR will be solid. Graduated a semester early (fall 2021) so I always had maximum amount of credit hours (not sure if that counts for anything). No real trend with grades, they took a bit of hit with COVID but I had a 4.0 my last semester with a very rigorous schedule (3 500-600 level BIO and 3 400 level psych classes).

Received Il from LECOM and U of SC Columbia (think it's just because it's my alma mater). With step 1 being pass fail I have concerns with how that will affect DO matching so have a strong preference for MD. Thoughts?

Received Il from LECOM and U of SC Columbia (think it's just because it's my alma mater). With step 1 being pass fail I have concerns with how that will affect DO matching so have a strong preference for MD. Thoughts?
