Hello everyone,
So I was hoping anyone could shed some insight on my chances of getting into MD or DO schools with my credentials.
I recently graduated UNH with a 2.98 ugpa and a 3.0 sgpa and a B.S. In Biomedical Sciences. I am currently in a post baccalaureate program at ELMS college and as of right now I have a 4.0 in the program. However, because of the substantial number of credits I've taken ill only have a boost to about a 3.12 gpa as long as my 4.0 holds in the post bac. I have not taken my mcat yet but plan on taking it in June 2016 and getting my application in before my mcat scores are released. I am currently working as an EMT and have been full time for about 6 months. Before that I worked part time for 3 years as a pharmacy technician so my clinical experience is decent. I have experience as a biochemistry TA but have no volunteer hours or shadowing. My question for everyone is 1. What mcat score should I aim for if I want to be considered at MD or DO schools? 2. Do I have a shot even with my gpa and a high mcat at MD? 3. Could anyone give me any pointers or advice for what I should do to make myself more competitive for the 2017 application cycle?
Thanks guys
