So I received my scores today, and I'm dissapointed. I averaged a 31 through out my practice tests, but I let the time get the best of me on the actual test. I got: PS:8 / VR: 7 / BS: 9. I am URM, although I think that doesn't help at all. Do I still have a shot for DO schools?

Are you applying this cycle or next year?

What are your EC's like?

Have you shadowed a DO and gotten the coveted "DO letter?"

Based on stats, you could get accepted SOMEWHERE, if you apply early enough and broadly enough. I don't know if you are too late for this cycle. Rolling admissions may kill your app.

Good luck.

Even witht he 24, you'll be OK at some schools.

KCOM, KCUMB, MUCOM, CUSOM, VCOM-VC, VCOM-CC, ACOM, LMU, WVSOM, LECOM-E, SOMA, COMP-NW

+

PNWU, WCU, PCOM-Ga, KYCOM (these are regionally biased though)

though reaches, you can also add DMU, LECOM-B, and NSU for their quick secondaries.

These are major reaches unless OP is an African American URM ...
 
Yeah, I'm Mexican-American URM. Do you guys think giving a shot at the California schools is a far reach? I'm a cali resident that's why.

California DO schools have the highest average MCAT in the nation... If you can bring that MCAT up to 27+, you definitely will have a shot... I don't think you have a shot with 24... However, since you are from Cali and you would like to stay there, you should definitely throw a hail mary....
 
Yeah I would like to stay here, but I don't mind going somewhere else. Hopefully I get some interview invites this cycle, if not I'll retake the mcat. I was averaging a 31 on my practice exams, I don't know what happened.

Wtf. You were averaging 31 and Made a 24?
 
Yes, I did simulate the tests on my practice tests. But I let the time get the best of me in both PS and VR, I needed to completely guess on the last two passages. That's why I'm not sure if I should go DO, or just retake.
