Hello! I am coming over at the recommendation of Reddit to get some advice on my school list. I initially preferred MD but am okay with DO as well because of my MCAT score.

- Leadership:
Trend of quick promotions at scribe company and current role in skilled nursing
Director level position where I work with regional, state, and national medical directors/CMO of company daily

I'm a first generation college student and would be in my third gap year. I would really appreciate any advice or guidance regarding the school list. Thanks soooo much!

MD schools outside of TX do not tend to interview TX residents since they can't compete against the in-state tuition. On top of that,
LSU Monroe and Oregon Health & Sciences University rarely take any out-of-state students, let alone Texans. OHSU expects a high MCAT from their non-Oregon applicants.

You can apply to TCU and Tulane on AMCAS. Someone from a rural area in TX reported that they had gotten interviews with Central Michigan and Wright State since they have relevant programs.

I don't recommend Rocky Vista due to their for-profit status. The coastal Touros prefer a higher MCAT score, as does Rowan since it is majority NJ residents. You could add:

ACOM
Marian
Campbell
KCOM (Kirksville)
