My main concern is my MCAT score. I would like help with a list for US MD schools. I am open to applying to up to 25-30 MD schools, but am open to a few DO schools. Please let me know if there are any activities I should add on as the year goes to fill any gaps. I am open to retaking the MCAT if it is absolutely necessary, but wanted to know if it is possible without.

Note: My motto will be around
-Extracurriculars focused on working with underserved (ethnic) communities and advocating for cultural advocacy
-Shadowing experiences in high-level clinical settings with minority healthcare professionals.
