I applied to medical schools during my senior year of college but did not get any acceptance. I was going to retake the MCAT and reapply the following year because I know for sure that is a weakness on my application. However, I just got an unexpected call today from a DO school where I am waitlisted offering me a spot in their masters program. I was told that if I can get a 3.5GPA and pass the final exam, then I will be automatically accepted to their DO program. This all seem very tempting but I was also told that classes have begun and I am already one week behind. It is also not close to home so I would have to find a place to stay. Should I put in 60K for a masters program with a chance of being admitted to a mediocre DO school within year or study my butt off for the MCAT in hopes of getting into a better medical school within 2 years?
Here are my stats:
3.57 cGPA 3.43 sGPA
1st MCAT - 26 (12/5/9)
2nd MCAT - 502 (129/123/125/125)
4 years of undergrad research experience
1 published paper coauthored
1 undergraduate research grant
2 years of hospice volunteering
2 years as a member of a service organization
graduated from Ivy League university (idk if this would help)
