I think you're fine for any DO school, and try your state MD school as well.

What is your state of residence?

Thanks Goro.

You are definitely competitive for DO Schools and if you do a post bacc, I'm confident you can get into an MD. I was in your shoes once, being a non-trad Mexican American and similar stats. I had a very good cycle. PM me for more details!

@PickleRickelus Thanks I appreciate it! And congrats on a good cycle.

Hey hun! No need to apply DO (unless you really want to). You should receive interviews at:

Central Michigan University
Wayne State University
Indiana University
Rosalind Franklin University
Seton Hall University
Tulane University (must submit very early)
Medical College of Wisconsin
Wright State (Ohio)
Ohio State University
Penn State
Drexel
NYMC
Albany University
George Washington University
UCLA Drew
Florida schools if you’re bilingual

I feel like there’s more to add. But my brain is fried from taking an exam today lol

Edit: I actually don’t think you need to do a post bacc. Just make sure you nail your essay prompts and practice on how to interview without sounding rehearsed! You got this bud I was in your shoes with way worse stats

OUWB
Michigan State
UNLV
Loyola
Cal Med
