I'd be happy as hell to stay in the tristate area.
Matching back on the east coast would be dreams too

thanks!

I suggest adding these DO schools:
MU-COM
DMU-COM
WVSOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
UIWSOM
ARCOM
UP-KYCOM

With those GPAs, you're DOA for MD.

Figured as much, but is DO a long shot too?

 

[candbgirl]

Do you have any direct clinical experience that is not clinical research? You seem to have listed the Clinical Research with 500+ hours twice. Also for your nonclinical volunteering- who did you tutor? Usually that should be included under teaching/ tutoring. Do you have any service to the unserved/underserved in your community? Like volunteering at a homeless shelter, food bank, soup kitchen , camp for disabled or under privileged kids? Anything out of your comfort zone and off campus? Your GPAs are really low for MD. Get those DO applications in and keep working on your application in case you have to reapply. ADCOMS will want to see significant improvement on a reapplication. Good luck.

OK with a broad app.
