Im not sure about that. Goro is much more qualified to answer that question since s/he is a faculty member at a medical school. On one hand, it could be beneficial if you have a very compelling reason. On the other, it could be interpreted as you just making excuses because at the end of the day, no matter what the reason(s), you still scored the exact same cumulatively.Thanks for the additions. I think I have a fairly decent explanation for the score being the same. I know some secondaries have an option to elaborate on things like that. Would doing so make much of a difference?
Who cares - MSUCOM is the arguably best DO school in the countryI suggest:
MCW (maybe)
Rush (maybe)
Rosy Franklin
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Oakland U Beaumont
Loyola
Loma Linda (only if you are SDA or a very devout Christian)
SLU
WVU
U VM
MCW
Creighton
VCU
Your state school(s).
Any DO school. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.
I agree with the excuses part. I'm sure there will be an opportunity to talk about during an interview if brought up.Im not sure about that.

Hey, thanks for the suggestions! When would you say "early" ends? I plan on sending off the primary for DO schools in a week or so. I've already done it for AMCAS application.
