D.o chances? 3.5 with retakes.

[GmcTruck]

I am currently a second semester junior at a state school on the east coast, I will end up with a 3.5 after retakes of 3 classes and 2 W's.
My majors are as such, I am a duel major in Psychology and Human Nutrition. My Science GPA is also a 3.5.

E.C's: When I finish with undergraduate degree I will have 3,000+ clinical hours as a E.R scribe with ScribeAmerica. My hours are high because I work to pay many bills during school. I work with 12 doctors and 5 of them are osteopathic doctors. I will have 3-4 LOR from these doctors. I have a very interactive learning atmosphere as my department has DO medical students doing rotations monthly. This is my strongest experience.
MCAT: Old scale: 30

100 hours hospice volunteer hours.
150 various volunteer hours.

I would like to seek anybodies opinion on if my majors being untraditional will hold me back. I am trying to get into any osteopathic medical school new or old, particularly in an urban environment. I will be applying in 2017, so what would a 23 old applicant chances with my numbers look like?

You aren't that untraditional. You'll also need a committee letter or 2-3 science/other professor letters. You could definitely go DO with those stats, assuming there is nothing bad unmentioned. You have taken the new mcat?

Solid chances at almost all DO schools. You're degrees don't matter, but I've seen tons of Psych and a couple nutrition majors anyway.

Can't remember exactly, but I think I had 11-13 Ws on my transcript and few D's and C's that I retook for A's. Had an average MCAT/GPA. Got ii's from 2/3 schools I applied to, and 2 acceptances out of the 3 interviews I went on. Make sure you can explain the reasons for the retakes, and you'll be fine.

You'll be fine for DO but when will your MCAT expire? Check and see what schools will still be accepting the old test.
