Any help with determining if I'll be ready to apply June 2019? Looking at mostly DO schools, some lower MDs. Plan B is to wait it out til 2020 (would need to retake MCAT as mine expires by then)
In addition, my grades really start to plateau mathematically as I approach a 3.0 for science. It's gonna be a big investment to push past 3.0, but I'm debating whether that little difference is worth it.
- Graduated 2016, science major. 2.31 sGPA, 2.78 cGPA
- MCAT is 508
- DIY post bacc of 37 credits (in process) will hopefully give me a final of 2.86 sGPA and 3.05 cGPA.
