Hey all,
This is my first post here so excuse my faults in posting.
My BCPM is a 3.082 but with several retakes in it (including Orgo 1 and 2 as well as calc 1). I went through a rough year my second year and statistically I have been climbing back up ever since. I have heard that DO schools see the first scores but look at the retake mainly. Is this true? if so this is my final gpa that I will apply with.
My cumulative gpa in all other areas is a 3.88. So as one can see I have the cGPA to get in but not the science gpa. I am taking my MCAT in July and I have been getting 30s on my practice exams from Kaplan.
I have done over 200 hours of shadowing
Interned at the American Cancer Society for over 200 hours
Been a founding father and first president of my fraternity and have help numerous positions there after
Worked 20 hours a week on campus and life guarded for 20 hours during the weekends in the summer
I was a tour guide for my school
Am part of Order of the Omega Honor Society for greeks
Have done over 300 hours of research with 2 presentations
Thoughts? anything would be helpful
Thanks everyone! and please don't hold back!
