Hi, I have 3.7 cGPA, and a 3.6 sGPA with an upward trend (I have gotten 4.0s my last two semesters), and I'm from Pennsylvania (born in Ohio). I majored in Biology with a minor in writing My MCAT is 510 with 127 C/P, 128 CARS, 126 B/B, and 129 P/S. I have volunteered at a children's hospital, done a little research, worked as a scribe, and done a lot of community service. I am also in a large national sorority and had some leadership positions and i am a TA for a freshmen biology class. I had an advisor telling I have almost no chance of getting into a med school, but after looking at MSAR, that didn't make sense to me. Can anyone offer any advice on what schools I can get into?

So far in terms of MD schools I am planning on applying to
Drexel, George Washington, Penn State, Albany, Rosalind Franklin, Cooper, Drexel, Geisinger
I am also looking at PCOM and TouroCOM for DO schools.

Any DO program. I can't recommend Touro-NY, Nova, Wm Carey, LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide.

Thanks, this is very helpful. Can you tell me why you can't suggest Touro-NY? That was one that I was interested in
