WAMC with an IA

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Your IA will be a major handicap at most MD and DO schools. You need a gap year just to increase the time between your IA and your application. You will also need to apply broadly to MD and DO schools and hope that a few schools may place less importance on the IA than most schools will.
I suggest these schools based on your stats:
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Penn State
Geisinger
Hackensack
New York Medical College
Vermont
Albany
Quinnipiac
Oakland Beaumont
Wake Forest
NOVA MD
TCU-UNT
Medical College Wisconsin
For DO schools you could try these:
PCOM (all schools)
LECOM (all schools)
Touro-NY
NYITCOM (all schools))
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
LUCOM
LMU-DCOM
WCU-COM
ACOM
VCOM (all schools)
UIWSOM
TUNCOM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
AZCOM
CCOM
MU-COM
BCOM
Noorda-COM
KHSC-COM (new school)
ICOM
RVU Montana
Any new schools that open by the time you apply (there may be new schools in Orlando and Dusquene in PA)
 
I will agree that the more time you put between the IA and your current situation, the easier it will be. But if the IA covers just your freshman year, I can say there have been applicants (seniors when they applied) who were not just contrite but also served on honor/conduct boards to go beyond and show you learned a lot from your mistake. You need to have some help with your student conduct administrator and perhaps a prehealth advisor (if you have a committee/institutional letter process) to get the right language to talk about what you learned from this mistake if you are asked about disclosing your IA. Many of those senior-year applicants were able to gain admission to the schools that were a mutual fit. The interesting challenge is the fact that your IA is at another institution, so you won't really know what their policies are about disclosure under FERPA. They wouldn't tell your current institution about the infraction in all likelihood, so you may have to go to the first institution's student conduct office where the infraction is on file.

Agree 1000% with this.

I agree with Faha's list.
