Hopefully this can relate to people who had to fail before succeeding. I failed and retook College Algebra my freshman year at a private school in which I was a miserable student athlete. I understand the MD application does not replace grades, but the DO application does. I have raised my GPA from a 2.33 (fr. yr.) to 3.61 (sen. yr.) without grade replacement. With grade replacement I raised it from 2.83 to 3.71. I have a 3.94 cGPA and 3.95 sGPA in my last 3 years (the upper level pre med classes). I have EC's such as D1 baseball, scribing, medical assistant, tutoring, and volunteer head-coaching baseball. I will begin clinical research in Microbiology in January 2018. I didn't realize being a physician was my calling until about 3 months ago and will take the MCAT in the 2018 Spring.
To what degree will failing College Algebra 5 years ago affect my application profile?
Shot in the dark: what context of schools should be in my scope?
I apologize for the narcissistic post and thank you for helping an anxious hopeful.
