Hi, Im at a crossroad between picking to apply for SGU in the Caribbean or going all in for D.O. My passion is medicine, and not title of MD, so I do not care of how I get to where I want to be. I'm graduating as a Biology Major in Canada with cGPA of 3.42 and sGPA of 3.27. Currently preparing for my MCAT. I did horrible in my first year and half of undergrad but in my last year and half I had a cGPA of 3.86 and sGPA of 3.77. So very much an upward trend but I'm not sure if its good enough. The reason for even pursuing SGU is the fact that I can save 80k through their scholarships for those that have GPA >3.7 which I would by simply repeating 2 courses. CHANCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE?
Others things I should mention:
-Shadowing a US MD at clinic (accumulated 50hrs)
-Volunteer-work with cancer patients at a clinic in a hospital (about 300hrs so far)
-Tutor at underprivileged area for >2yrs
-About to do a year of work as a 'big brother' with BIG BROTHER BIG SISTERS program
-Work part-time
-Volunteering in a professor's lab and having hands-on experience for 8 months
-Did a humanitarian trip to Peru (for the reason that I would like to work in underprivileged areas as a doc)
