Hi all!
I applied in early July and was complete for most of my schools by the middle/end of July. I just got waitlisted at my only interview so far, and am considering adding more schools to my already stupidly high count of 47. I would appreciate any feedback on what schools I should add, including both MD and DO schools.
I know I have applied to a ton of schools. I am worried that I grossly overestimated myself or there is a red flag in my application. This process makes me nervous because I'm older than the average student without having tons of non-traditional experiences. Although I'm preparing myself to reapply, I am really hoping to avoid being even older by the time I start school.
Personal Info: I really have to limit this down for personal identification reasons. There aren't that many Idaho applicants.
Schools I'm considering adding:
Some additional information about my school list:

Thank you very much in advance!
