Hi, it depends a lot with different schools. If you apply to AZCOM, chicago and DMU, you need to have around 3.2 and 22(good GPA compensates bad MCAT and vice versa)to be competitive. I am pretty sure most of the podiatry schools want a recommendation letter from podiatrist or at least have experience in that. I heard some good things about Temple too. However, if you don't have that, the bottom schools are easier to get accepted. You shouldn't sweat that. What's your stats?

I think the MCAT is available even sooner (on computer)
