Thank you so much! Would you recommend that I apply to any DO schools? Or I should be fine for MD?

Great job. I think you have a strong shot at MD. I'm presuming you are networking with SNMA and other mentoring organizations for Black women physicians. I would be very surprised if the HBCU MD schools stay silent without an II.
