Hello! Thank you in advance for your read/input.
I applied MD is past cycle, received 1 II (5 holds if that means anything), got waitlisted, and recently committed to reapply. I should've applied more broadly, but I'm not going to dwell on that any longer if I can help it. I intended to take another gap year to strengthen my application, but I realize my 2018 MCAT score would expire for some schools for the 2021-2022 cycle. I am looking to apply mostly DO on this go.
cGPA: 3.72, sGPA: 3.64
MCAT: 1st attempt 501 (126/126/126/123), 2nd attempt 512 (128/127/128/129)
State of Residence: CA
Demographics: Asian, female
Highest Education: Master's Degree (Health Sciences), not SMP, 3.86 gpa
Undergrad Major: Biology
Paid Employment (mostly Research & Teaching):
List (11):
TUCOM-CA
MWU-CCOM
RVUCOM
COMP-Northwest
COMP-Pomona
LECOM
UNECOM
PNWU-COM

@Faha @Goro any advice would be much appreciated
