Yes, but apply broadly, and skip the coastal Touros,Western, CCOM, PCOM, CUSOM, BCOM and KCU. Aim for the newest schools. I can't recommend LUCOM.

Skip BCOM, CUSOM, and coastal Touro's? Curious as to why you are telling OP to cut these schools out? I understand why not to include the others.

CUSOM has a cutoff at 3.2

sGPA or cGPA?

 

[AnatomyGrey12]

Both I believe

These schools have cutoff well above 3.01.

Do these cutoffs include sGPA and cGPA equally or is it only for cGPA?

 

[Goro]

Both. If anything, a weaker sGPA is more serious.

Was never asked or answered about pcom actually. They dont have a minimum gpa or mcat listed on their site

 

[Goro]

My apologies. I'd also rule out PCOM. They're more forgiving of lower MCAT scores.

Thank you for your response. Would i have a shot with a high mcat score?

You and I are in similar positions. I have a 3.1 sGPA and a 3.3 cGPA after 3 retakes. I am hoping to score 504+ on MCAT. I have good EC's and good LoR's including one from a speciality DO. I also applied to a post-bacc program in case my MCAT isn't so hot. Make sure you apply broadly and early and crush MCAT. You and I both need everything else on app to be great to stand a shot.

What are your EC's? LoR's?
