- What are my chances of getting into the following DO programs this coming cycle 2017-2018?
- Western, Touro (CA), NYIT, Touro (NY), Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, U of North Texas, Midwestern, Touro (NV), MWU, AT Still, Rocky Vista , Nova SE, Michigan State (13 schools)
- Is there anything I should do during the application process to improve these chances besides scoring high on the MCAT (aiming for at least 508)?
- Would it be too late to take the MCAT mid- May and risk having my app processed in July?
- I have not yet requested any letters of rec, but plan on asking one of the MDs I work for, my anatomy professor from a CC, and I suppose a professor from UC (I regret not going to office hours so whoever agrees will be a stretch)…
