Hello,

10. Other ECs - Mentored incoming freshmen on adjusting to campus life, worked as a TA for a quarter
11. Awards - Deans list a few times, graduated highest GPA in my major for transfer students in my year

This might be a little long winded so I appreciate any patient readers willing to give feedback. Last year was my first cycle and I applied late September due to scheduling my MCAT in August. Here is my school list for last cycle:

I interviewed at USUHS and CNUCOM, was rejected by USUHS, got into CNUCOM off the waitlist but decided not to attend after learning about their federal loan policy.

Here is my school list for this cycle:

Alice Walton
CUSM
Rosalind Franklin
MCW
NYMC
Nova
OaklandU
Sidney Kimmel
UCLA
UCR
UCSD
Wake Forrest
Wayne State
Western Michigan

I have yet to receive an interview invite this cycle.

It would be nice to get feedback on my MD apps, but the main reason I'm making a thread is to get feedback on preparing a DO application. I know things are pretty late at this point and I am prepared to take a third cycle if need be, but I'm just trying to make the most of what's in front of me right now.

For DO schools I haven't gotten very far yet and am still doing research:

RVUCOM
Touro campuses(excluding NV)

In my search I'm excluding schools that require a LOR from a physician as that's not something I have at this point. I'm not really sure how else to choose schools outside of raw stats and applicant location data from cycletrack. I'd be extremely grateful to hear about schools that would be worth taking a shot at. Due to application fatigue I'm not looking to send out too many, maybe 6 or 7 at most. I apologize if the information I'm asking for is easily found elsewhere.

Thanks for your time.
