Hey everyone!
I can honestly say I am very nervous even if I should apply for this cycle. Well, my stats are as follows. I consider myself not competitive. Do any of you recommend other health professions like Podiatry? Still, I really want to pursue a career in family medicine as a DO doctor.
-Low gpa: 3.1 gpa overall and 3.0 science gpa (My gpa suffered the most in my first two years for the lack of not balancing my schedule but strong upward trend junior/ senior year with mostly A's after maturing and being more responsible).
-Mcat: decent 512
-Mexican (Hispanic first generation in college)
-Volunteer hours: over 1,200 hours
-Worked full time throughout college that limited research possibilities and other school activities which I really wanted to do.
-4 great recommendation letters from professors and volunteer organizations
-Physician shadowings: over 20 hours (love it!)
Thanks!
