Just got my MCAT back today and would like to know where I stand and which DO schools to apply and MD schools if it looks like I even have a chance at MD.

-27 MCAT (10/8/9)
-cgpa 3.4
-DO sgpa 3.55
-MD sgpa 3.1
-around 3.7 gpa in my own post-bac of 37 hours (all science classes except 1)

non traditional student working full time as a x-ray technologist for over 2 years.
over 1500 clinical hours as a radiology student at a large university.
100+ hours volunteering at child behavior health organization.
coached youth roller hockey.
from the midwest.

was told by writers that letters are good and personal statement very strong.
what schools should I apply for DO (already verified) and should I apply MD (if so, where?) I wasn't planning on it originally so I have not submitted my app to AMCAS.

Thanks for the input!

I'm not well versed in DO but it seems you are well suited for them. Do not apply to MD. Your GPAs and MCAT are well below average

Is 3.1 your AMCAS gpa with the post bac added in? What is your state residence?

Yes, several classes were retakes due to a poor start at college and I was originally just planning on DO anyway but figured id see if there was a chance. I'm a Missouri resident.

I guess you may as well apply to your state schools, sadly your gpa is well below 10th% for all of them and your MCAT doesn't offset it.
