Ok I know there are a ton of these but here goes. I am a non-traditional from Ohio. I am currently 26 years old. Here are my stats.
Undergraduate GPA-2.85
Post-Bacc GPA--3.54
cGPA-3.1
sGPA-3.4
MCAT-24 (ver-7,bio-9,phys-8)
I have applied broadly to both MD and DO but realize my best shot is at DO and I am fine with that. I have two letters from DOs. I also have volunteer experience and experience working in both a small medical center and a large teaching hospital working with the medical school at that hospital. I also have tons of shadowing time and was a TA for organic. Should I consider retaking or do I have a decent shot at DO/lower tier MD? The thing with my MCAT is I was getting 9-10 on my verbal so I was surprised to see it so low. But I was also getting a point lower in both bio and phys. I am terrified to take it again and do worse. But the test is changing in January so I don't want to have to do that either. Any insight would be great, Im really hoping these numbers are ok for DO!
