Hello All,
I got my AACOMAS verified today after submitting to one school and was waiting for my GPA calculation before submitting to the rest of the schools on my list. There are A LOT of different GPAs this year, so I will try and provide enough to paint a picture. If you need any others, please feel free to ask!
Undergrad cGPA: 3.18
Graduate cGPA: 3.86
Overall GPA: 3.29
Undergrad sGPA: 3.08
Graduate sGPA: 3.86
Overall Science: 3.30
AZ resident, URM
MCAT: 30Q - V11/PS9/BS10
Clinical Exp: 500hrs direct work with patients in a rehab clinic, 420 hrs paid work with patients, over 100 hours shadowing, currently shadowing a general surgeon and volunteering at a hospital
**no DO shadowing; I tried, but could not find one in my area I even emailed the entire list provided to me from AACOMAS
Other ECS: research(through my master's program) - hopefully will have a publication (not 1st author) by the end of the academic year (around 500 hours right now)
Graduate TAship
AmeriCorps - 1 year program
volunteering at high schools for college prep
various volunteering through various clubs during undergrad (i am now 3 years out) ^^ everything else is after undergrad, so I have kept current with activities
No story to tell about the low GPA beside being unfocused/immature/not putting in a reasonable amount of time and effort
Have excelled in a 30+ credit biomedical science master's program of actual upper division science work, not forums/journal clubs,etc. (PM me for more detail if needed!); take same classes as some of the MD/PhD students
LOR: I believe are solid
I would love to stay on west coast if I can! List:
Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine
Western University of Health Sciences/College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific
Western University of Health Sciences/College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Northwest
A.T. Still University - School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona
Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine–California
Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine
I took my MCAT in 2012, so for many schools, it will not be valid. If I retake in January 2016, would that be too late for:
Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine of Midwestern University
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine
does anyone know if they would consider me for a secondary and/or interview before receiving the new score?
Any insight is much appreciated!!
