Hey guys,
I'm wondering what my chances are for any DO school, as I could see myself in primary care, and want to learn about OMM. I'm a junior at a top 15 university have a pretty rigorous science/engineering major.
3.2 cGPA, 3.1 sGPA ---> upward trend, looking to continue, gap year intended.
24 MCAT (06 PS, 08 VR, 10 BS) (8/3/13)
RETAKE: 29 MCAT (10 PS, 10 VR, 9 BS) (8/7/14). Satisfied, studied during an internship and traveling for tournaments during summer. Little disappointed BS went down a point, but is that ok?
Good ECs: (will have) 3 years as president of a sports club (from planning trips to competing in national tournaments, has been a huge part of my time).
-Residential Advisor (RA)
-Student Associate for a year (volunteer position, guided a freshman floor)
-Shadowed family physicians MD/DO (50 hrs). Emergency Room Dept. Shadowing (30 hrs).
-Involved with a year long research project through the med school, produced a provisional patent, invented a medical device, worked with physicians, looking to maybe take to market
-Clinical Volunteering 30+ hours last semester.
-Member of Senior Honor Society
So what do you guys think? I really would love to go to a DO school, but would also consider MD schools in state if I have a chance, I'm an Illinois Resident... Appreciate any feedback!
