I have a few questions regarding these 1-year programs that a lot of D.O schools have, like the Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences at Touro CA. I've been looking at the stats they have for matriculants and I notice they have pretty low averages, which is logical since the point of the program is to help people with below-average stats. But, does this mean that you might not get in if your GPA or MCAT is much higher than their average? And are these kinds of programs really only for people who have a very strong upward trend, or very extenuating circumstances that caused a low GPA?
