Throwaway for privacy reasons,
I am a 5 year veteran of the Navy looking to apply next cycle to medical school. For military reasons, the timing of this cycle just didn't work out. I am not quite sure where I stand though and would love some feedback.
During my time in the Navy I served as a CTI (Chinese language analyst) and worked my entire service for a three letter agency. I learned this language as part of my service (any other DLIers around?). I had the opportunity to travel around to some interesting places and do some extremely gratifying Intelligence work.
Okay now to the stats:
sgpa: 3.3 cgpa: 3.6
MCAT: 515
Volunteering: 200 hours at a local hospital.
Shadowing: approx 50 hours
I earned my Bachelors before joining at a state school in Texas then took a few classes while in the military to round out my prerequisites.
Should I be aiming for low tier MDs or only DO schools? I am not sure if my military service makes up for my non-competitive GPA.
I am a Texas resident so my tentative school list is as follows:
TCOM
All Texas MD schools
Tulane
Dartmouth
Around 5-6 DO schools but not sure which ones yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
