If you have the rest of your app in order (clinical experience, service, etc) you are a rock solid DO candidate. Pick your favorite 10. Keep an eye if any schools require a letter from a DO.

For MD, delete U Wash, Oregon and Ohio St due to your OOS residency.

For your second list, the only schools not worth applying too would be Wash St (OOS), Pitt (stats) and Va Tech (small class size with supposed regional preference).

For MD you could add Quinnipiac, Oakland Beaumont, NYMC. Remove the OOS public schools mentioned above.

Both your lists look good and you should receive many interviews.

Do you think that is too many schools?
