Since it’s almost time to submit the apps, I am asking for some help with my DO school list.
I don’t have my MCAT score back yet. My FLs average was ~515, and I will only apply if i get 510+. Assuming my mcat would he 510+, I want to apply to 10 DO schools and need help with my list.
My cgpa and sgpa both are 3.9+
ORM, NY resident, US citizen, immigrated to US 7 years ago, Low SES.
