Hey,
I am currently planning on applying to both Allopathic and Osteopathic schools this summer. My GPA stands at a 3.58 cumulative and 3.3 science. After two summer courses my GPA will stand at 3.61 cum and 3.35ish science. I am planning on taking my MCAT whenever I am ready between May 19th and July 28.

My summer courses will have their grades posted by August 4th. With this fact, I am debating on waiting until applying with my grades in August or applying early in late June with my courses as in progress. (I really wanted to apply with a solid 3.6+, I'm a little OCD)
The courses are: one retakes of an upper level C grade and one additional science course

I am planning on applying to both DO and MD. Should I apply to MD early and then wait for August for DO?!

Thanks in advance
AB

Apply to all of them at the same time... Why would you purposefully wait? Each day that passes, hundreds more applications are piling up in line ahead of yours.
