Hi everyone,
I've calculated that my best case scenario (after post-bacc classes and some retakes) with the DO AACOMAS calculations are cGPA ~3.5, sGPA ~3.3. Due to the differences between the calculations, my best case AMCAS GPA would be cGPA ~3.38, sGPA ~3.29.
However, the courses I would retake during postbacc would be different depending on which route I would take--ie, trying to retake a non-science F for DO school for grade replacement vs. retaking upper div science classes for MD.
I realize it is a difficult question to answer due to lack of MCAT score, but is it even worth applying to MD schools with that best-case scenario GPA? I am totally happy with going the DO route either way, but if I will be looking at primarily DO schools, should I try to raise my AACOMAS GPA as high as I can instead of my AMCAS GPA?
Thank you!
Edit: Plan on taking MCAT courses and prep during 2 postbacc classes this fall.
