Where is your rural ED/hospital? Are you still working there?

Build more non-clinical volunteering, and we look forward to your food bank hours. Goal is 150 hours before submission to avoid getting screened out at most schools. If your other activities in schools and rural communities is in Texas, that could help your cause in TMDSAS. Please look over the TMDSAS video interviews of the admissions teams at the Texas schools and attend any office hours that you'd like.
 
Apply to all your Texas TMDSAS MS and DO schools and you should receive interviews. Accumulate 150 hours at the food bank before you submit your application. For AMCAS schools you could try TCU, Tulane, Belmont, Roseman (when it opens), Alice Walton (when it opens).
