Hi! I am a Florida resident and the first time I took the MCAT, I got a 499 (terrible score I know). The second MCAT (506) Science GPA= 3.60 Total GPA = 3.75 I am applying to MD and DO schools. Is there still a chance for MD schools? Any advice on DO school list? So far, I have NOVA, LECOM...

I know how much DO emphasizes primary care, so would it hurt my app if I don't shadow a primary care doc? I worked with radiologists for 1 year, and I have been working for an orthopedic surgeon for 7 months now. I also shadowed a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and infectious disease doctor. I...

I really want to go to medical school (MD or DO), but I graduated college close to 1.5 years ago with an atrocious GPA of 2.78 (without repeat grade replacement, 2.6...).
