You could try these schools:
Vermont
Quinnipiac
Albany
New York Medical College
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
GW
Georgetown
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Medical College Wisconsin
Rosalind Franklin
Creighton
Tulane
any new private schools that open in 2018 (Roseman, Seton Hall, etc.)
Also apply to at least 6 DO schools and you are competitive for all DO schools. You may need a DO LOR for some schools.
