2.7cGPA/ 3.3 sGPA 500MCAT

What are my chances? I am looking at ATSU-KCOM, I am non trad with 3+ years healthcare experience, I am tri-lingual and I have 100+ shadowing hours of a DO. &&Black Female.

My cGPA might be higher (not by much) but I don't really understand how to figure my grades with the updated AACOM policy.

What do you guys think are my chances?

Poor.

 

[OchemOficionado]

Poor.

Really? I know cGPA is also important, but I figured being URM would help.

What do you guys think? @Faha and @Goro ? Does this student need a post bac?

Do you have a rising GPA trend? The low cGPA worries me, but the sGPA is encouraging. I suggest applying broadly, and include the HBcs.

Yes, really. His/her chances are poor.

Where is your state of residence? You have a chance for interviews at some of the newer DO schools so consider all these:
ACOM
ARCOM
BCOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LUCOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
NYIT-Arkansas
UIWSOM
ICOM
PCOM (Georgia and South Georgia)
For MD schools try Howard, Meharry and Morehouse and possible your state schools depending on your state of residence.

Broad list of DO schools and you will get in at least 1. The URM female staus will help, but you might be a little too low stats wise for MD, but Ive seen crazier acceptances this cycle

I live in Missouri, I am from D.C. though so I was looking at Howard already (fingers crossed?).

@Goro @Faha

I plan to retake my MCAT in sept. I am spending now 4-5 months in prep work, aiming for a 505-510 which I think is doable. Would that impact my chances of acceptance or is my GPA too shot to hell?

Also, I work in a hospital and have 3 years healthcare experience. By the the time I apply I will have 50+ hours (maybe more?) of DO shadowing experience and 15 of MD shadowing.

Thanks

oh BTW I want to look at ATSU is that an absolute no?

If you increase your MCAT to 508 then your chances for a MD acceptance increase to 50%. Post your score here when available. You can try ATSU but your stats are low for that school.

other than Howard U, I am not really looking at MD just not to waste my money on an app that will be auto rejected.
How do my chances look for DO? I am kind of concerned that even for DO school I will get nothing but no's.

If you apply to all the schools I listed you should receive some interviews. What will your cGPA and sGPA be after you finish your DIY post bacc?
