You need to get to some 30 hrs of post-bac to have enough data points to show reinvention.Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me tweak med school app school list. I am a Middle Eastern-European California resident by the way!
My undergrad was very competitive and notoriously tough on premeds so I didn't finish undergrad with the highest GPA. After a rough couple of years by my third and fourth years my GPA steadily improved. Now I'm taking postbacc courses to further better my GPA, while tutoring homeless kids and working as a research assistant. My MCAT score is 515(130, 125, 129, 131). Let me know what you think of my list(I was thinking 13 MD schools and 13 DO schools). I'm not very familiar with DO schools so this is definitely a rough draft. My main concern is the DO schools having good clinical rotation opportunities my third and fourth years. Thank you for your help! 🙂

UC Irvine
UC Davis
UC Riverside
UCSD
UCSF
UCLA
USC
Kaiser
NYU
Drexel
Albany
Oakland Beaumont
Emory
DO
PCOM
Touro
Western
LMU-DCOM
CCOM
ICOM
DMUCOM
KCU-COM
Lake Erie

AT STILL
ACOM
MSUCOM
Here is a more realistic school list:

Mt Sinai
Keck (maybe)
UCD
UCI
UCR IF you're form the Inland Empire
UCSF
EVMS
U Miami
Hofstra
Emory
Jefferson
Drexel
Albany
Tufts
NYMC
Rush
Loyola
Rosy Franklin
Tulane
Wake
MCW
SLU
Creighton
Wayne State
Netter
NYU.LI
Any DO program. Include UNECOM if you’re from the NE, OSUCOM if you’re from the Plains states and PacNW if you’re from that region.
So of your DO list, I recommend:
PCOM
Touro
Western (both)
CCOM (but check tuition!)
DMUCOM
KCU-COM
Lake Erie
AT STILL
ACOM
ADD: TUNCOM
I can't recommend Nova, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CUHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites. UIW refuses to post their Boards scores, which is fishy.
