Hello, so I am in a bit of a pickle in deciding whether or not I want to apply DO this cycle. Because the application has opened I do not want to waste too much time trying to decide. I am Canadian, so I understand it is more competitive for me.

My cGPA is 3.58

First year 3.3
Second Year 3.5
Third Year 3.97

MCAT (writing this august)

EC's ~
Exec / President of two clubs
Various employment (pharmacy, retail)
Hospital Volunteering (not much- have done for a year, have about like 50 hours)
Tutor
School coordinator
Teaching Science to elementary schools
Research

I feel like my EC's arent bad, but because I started them later I feel like it's not enough for D.O; I was going to try to get more hospital hours + get shadowing, but because of COVID that couldnt happen thoughts??

(I also dont have the english prereq so I am mainly looking @ MSUCOM )
