Extremely Nervous (DO/MD)

[UTVol17]

Hey guys,

First time poster here. I take my MCAT in two weeks and I'm just curious what my chances are for MD/DO schools. I've taken the test once before and did extremely horrid. My GPA is c3.4 s3.2.

My EC include volunteering at a local hospital in the ER, volunteering at a local VA Audiology center, some lab work in an Ichthyology lab during my undergraduate, and about 20 hours shadowing an anesthesiologist.

Any input would be wonderful. Thanks guys!

Have you taken any practice exams? If so, how did you do on them?

If you score 30+, you have a good chance for DO schools.

His GPA's are on par with the averages, so if he scores an average MCAT (~28) he should be fine if the rest of his application doesn't lack.

What did you get on your first MCA? Your GPA could be better. I would add on to the shadowing and volunteering. What is "some lab work"? It seems to me you could really benefit from this MCAT. Goodluck and let us know your results.

I got a 15 on my first test. I too it two weeks out of my Junior year, and it was a terrible mistake. I am the first of my extended family to even attend college and did not know what to expect. Needless to say, I have taken Kaplan and have been reviewing and preparing all summer.

The lab work I did was helping my professor run gel electrophoresis on specimens collected in the field.
