Hi everyone, it's my first time using SDN, I apologize for any mistakes
Went to T25 for undergrad with a BS in neuroscience and a minor in computer science (will graduate in 2021). I am an ORM GA resident. I already applied but this cycle has not been going well so I thought I would ask for additional opinions on my application. I have not received any early IIs and already have 4 early Rs so should I be worried?

Hello,
I've applied super broadly to many DO schools and just received my MCAT back of 506, with a super score of 508. My cGPA is 3.51 and sGPA is 3.26. I know my stats are definitely lower end for MD, is it worth submitting to a few of them?
Would love any feedback. Thank you!

Hi all,
Just got back my MCAT today, and I was wondering if it would be a mistake for me to only apply top-heavy (top 20 medical schools plus a few safeties). My primary are already finished and verified, and I have received also most secondaries from the schools I applied to in my primary app. Was wondering if I have to add on more schools? I don't have too much extra cash to apply to 30+ schools at the moment.
