Also here is my running list so far... would love more school suggestions (hoping to apply to 27 schools)and recommendations if I should take any schools off. Would be interested in DO, but mostly have done research on MD schools so far... also would love thoughts on my chances of getting into these places! I am interested in schools that emphasize public health as I am planning on applying to an MD/MPH dual degree program. Thank you so much for any insight!
