I think you stand a great chance at most DO schools!

My advice would be to avoid LUCOM and NY Touro. Other than that, I encourage you to apply broadly to any DO school you like.

Thanks

What is wrong with those schools, Just curious ?

View LUCOM's admission/ student requirements and review the reprimand that NY Touro received from COCA.

If either of these cases don't sit well with you, refrain from applying. If not, have at it.

Thanks again

I would apply MD too... 3.7 is very good 505 is a tad low but wont stop you from getting interviews. I would apply MD first, maybe wait on DO or do at the same time. You would be crazy to not apply MD after all you worked to get that gpa...

Should I applying to any MD schools

 

[mall]

Sorry Esponds 2018 as I was typing. Which schools I should apply?

 

[Faha]

For MD schools you could try Eastern Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth. For DO schools consider all these:
VCOM (all 3 schools)
WVSOM
UP-KYCOM
LMU-DCOM
ACOM
PCOM-Georgia
LECOM (both schools)
I assume you have sufficient shadowing and clinical volunteering hours.

Thanks

Is there any realistic chance for me to get into MD school and if so can someone short list the schools where I can apply ?
Thanks

I already posted the list above on June 21.

Thanks
So I should apply only to two MD schools

 

[mall]

AZCOM has put my application on hold pending future interview invitation
What it means? I am little nervous

Those 2 VA schools give preference to VA residents. Other OOS MD schools are unlikely with your stats.
