10. 4 year collegiate soccer player (D2 and D3)...Semi-professional soccer player...Was involved in a social justice project through my schools and a local Latin American organization (One presentation out of it)
11. MCAT serious concern I know, 5 straight practice exams in the 512-516 range so I feel like I seriously under-performed.

Michigan State College of Human Medicine
University of Michigan School of Medicine
Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine

Need advice on if I should just re-apply next cycle and boost MCAT since my practice scores were in a much higher range than my actual one turned out to be (All practices leading up to real one in 512-516 range...501 on the real one). MD schools might be a stretch at this point but what other ones should I add if I do try MD's? Or should I just send it DO route. Have no problem doing so...father is a DO OMM doc. I am already slated for one gap year and would REALLY not want to do another one.

Thank you!

If you're boning for MD schools, you'll need a retake and score in the 510+ range.

You're fine for many DO schools

Do you recommend I add any DO schools?

It's unclear that you have any nonclinical service orientation community service. Your application is at risk of getting screened out unless you have something.

Sorry yes, I have been apart of some. I was apart of a community service project that worked with a non-profit to give underrepresented community members a platform to voice their opinions. Another one through semi-pro soccer team, helping out around home town (park cleanup and youth soccer coaching), and general youth soccer through college team.

You need at least 150 hours to avoid being screened out. I can't see this being over 100 total, but I could be wrong.
