Hi everyone!

I'll be applying to Osteopathic medical school in the Fall of 2018 (taking MCAT this summer) I'm super nervous and was wondering what my chances are so far?

Currently pursuing BA and MS in Biological Sciences (upon attendance I will have both the masters of science and bachelors)
Undergrad GPA: 3.3
Grad GPA: 3.4
3.5 years of intensive CRISPR research (roughly 30+ hours a week)
100hr volunteering
50hr shadowing
4 semesters as an instructor for freshman Evolutionary Biology and Cell Biology lab
Presented research at 2 conferences, attended 4
LOR from 2 DO doctors

Is there anything that I can do to make me a stronger candidate? I plan to apply early and I am only looking at DO, not MD.

Where is your state of residence? What is your sGPA?

Message me and we can talk. I don't have great stats but my extracurricular activities are good and I have gotten accepted into one DO school and waiting on an MD that I interviewed already for. I also have an interview at a DO school in december and another in february.

Get a good MCAT score 510+
Do more patient contact volunteering.

As @Goro suggested, some clinical experience would boost that app. Hard to say without the mcat score. Definitely be shooting for 505+... good luck!
