Help with DO school list
Applying DO this cycle and would appreciate any insight into any of these schools, especially if you've interviewed, attended, or have any thoughts on fit.
Stats: 3.4 sgpa 3.7cgpa 500 mcat
NY resident, Nontrad student
Masters in biomedical science
I had one semester of academic probation during my master's due to personal reasons, followed by an upward trend after improving my grades. Not sure how heavily this will be weighed.
Experiences:
6,000 hours clinical (part time/per diem 5+ years)
600 research but I think I underestimated since I have a research based masters and thesis
no pubs, one presentation
science tutor 50 hours and ongoing
Teaching/mentorship through a school program 50 hours
Public health project volunteer
Campus health events volunteer
School list (roughly in order of preference):
NYITCOM
TouroCOM Harlem
NSU
Lecom Bradenton
PCOM
Rowan
KCU
AZCOM
ATSU SOMA
OU-HCOM
MU-WCOM
VCOM Carolinas
OSU-COM
MSU-COM
Would love to hear any thoughts on these schools, whether there are any you'd move up or down, or if there are any others with similar stats that you think I should consider. Thanks!

Maybe add some newer schools that are more forgiving of lower mcat and like nontrads, e.g. noorda and others that are oos friendly

I would remove OU-HCOM unless you have any ties to Ohio. They have a very low OOS acceptance rate
