Hello!
Stealing formatting from another kind SDN soul. I was hoping for advice as to where to apply. I was aiming for lower tier MD and more DOs, but after my recent MCAT score which jumped from a 504 to a 515 I was hoping to widen the scope a bit. Any help is greatly appreciated! My SMP courses consisted of Biochemistry I & II and Physiology I & II so far.
With all of that out of the way, here are my stats....
MD:
Here you have it. Any school suggestions would be very helpful. For cost reasons, I was hoping to limit my list to 25 schools.
Thank you all!
