Your subsection scores indicate you had some content gaps. How did you prepare for those sections?

If you apply without a retake,
* TMDSAS minus Baylor/Dell.
Belmont
New MD’s for 2024
+ the DO schools listed.

You could add these DO schools to your application:
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
TUNCOM
CUSOM
ACOM
PCOM (all schools)
NYITCOM
Touro-NY
OSU-COM
It is worth applying to your TMDSAS MD schools also.

Thank you! Is it really worth it to apply TMDSAS with my stats? I look at the averages and I'm decently far from them

Thanks for the reply! I definitely did not study as much as I wanted to for mcat, but I also think I was having a rough day for science. My FL avg. for CP and BB was ~126 under testing conditions.

For prep, I did Khan academy videos, milesdown deck, Qbank, and Practice tests.

Didn't buy Uworld or anything else because I didn't want to pay

Some of the lower tier Texas MD schools may interview you.

Can home be described as urban, suburban, or rural? Does this factor into your ultimate goal as a physician?

Home area is rural/suburban interface. Lots of rural underserved. My dept. has to cover 100+sq. miles so much of the area I serve could definitely be described as rural. This certainly plays a role in my future plans as I intend to do something rural/emergency medicine related
