I understand my gpa is no where near the competitiveness for any schools, but if I can get just one acceptance, that's all I need
Let me know what your guys' thoughts are. Thank you!

You could receive interviews at DO schools if your MCAT is above 500. Post your actual score here in the future.

Agree with my colleague. Target DO, but no bets without an MCAT.

Would this hold true for an ORM as well?

Get a letter from the DO doc. It will be useful at schools that require a physician letter!

I forgot to mention that I do have a LOR from the DO doc and a committee letter that includes 3 science and 1 non-science.
