I'm sure a million people post something similar to this but here it goes anyway. So this will be my 3rd application. I graduated a semester early in December 2013 with a GPA of 3.35, and I took the July 2014 MCAT and got a 36 (14 PS 12 BS 10 VR). I applied (relatively late) that cycle to ~15 schools, exclusively allopathic, and received 15 rejections and 0 interviews. Assuming my late application is what killed me, I got started WAAAAAY earlier for the next cycle and selected my slew of schools meticulously. I went through this second round of ~16 applications incredibly seriously (again only allopathic), and I even went so far as to hire a consultant. I sent out my primaries within the hour they opened on June 2nd. Again, I received 16 rejections and 0 interviews, and I was crushed. But, on the bright side, I beat my record from the year before! I have very light research experience, but a lot of patient care experience (i.e 4 years as an EMT; 2 separate MD shadowing programs). Since March 2015, I've been working as a car salesman, and I've quickly found I am a talented, but seeing how unhappy my coworkers are makes this an obvious "no thank you" as a career choice. Should I bother reapplying for MD? The people I've spoken to have for the most part said something along the lines of "you shouldnt even be considering DO/carribean with your MCAT scores/history despite your below average gpa". However, to be perfectly honest, I'm shot. Not to mention, my MCAT score is going to have it's 3rd anniversary in July 2017, and I'm hearing most schools will not take more than a 3 year old score. Technically, this would be my last chance. Should I focus all of my time and energy towards a killer DO application? I've avoided DO because they dont seem to match as well to the residencies that get me PUMPED. Any advice?
