Hello, looking for suggestions, I really really appreciate the help, very anxious for the last month....
cGPA: 2.98
sGPA: 2.95
Just graduated from a large midwest state school.
I worked for a year and a half as a Medical Scribe (Family prac and ER)
I tutored both disadvantaged students in Math and Science in the city and Science tutoring in my university
I worked in both a soup kitchen and red cross in the city for 2 semesters
I have a year of research experience, mostly in Gen Chem (Chromatography and the like)
I have shadowing experience (50+) with a DO doctor in GI as well as strong rec letter from him. I can get additional DO shadowing hours through him as well (godsend)
I want to go to DO school eventually, but I'm wondering what sort of programs I should be looking at. I'm assuming that a Post-bacc program is required for me, and I have done a tour at LECOM (it was a bastard of a drive) which I liked a lot.
My AIS score is 113 (30 ACT in high school), but I am scheduled to take the MCAT March 31st and have been studying extensively for it so I will be prepared to do well. Can you guys let me know if a Post-bacc program or SMP program is best, and point me in the right direction? I have a strong upward trend in my classes after an abysmal freshman year and academic dismissal, but I took responsibilty for it and have a full explanation of the issues that led to it and how I have bounced back and recovered from it. Thank you all for the help!!!!!!!!!!! ! ! ! !
