Hi everyone, I am really lost on picking out schools. I think I'm probably overthinking this, but since my stats are so low I would really like to optimize my school list. I’m a 26YOF, ORM, first generation college and medical student.
I planned to apply only DO, but I qualified for the FAP, so would love to use that to apply to 20 MD schools just for fun (I know I have 0% chance)
