Any advice to maximize chances of getting in? Will only apply to DO school (both parents are DO’s), will apply June 2019 so have another year to become a better applicant.
Top 20 University USNWR
Div 1 athlete
GPA 3.7
Science GPA currently 3.36, should rise a little by application time.
MCAT took it after sophomore year (mistake as too early) got 501. Will take again spring 2019 and will be much better prepared. Won’t take again until ready and practice exams reflect a better score.
No geographical preference. Willing to move anywhere but prefer a more established school (but will apply to newer schools too to maximize admission chances).
Volunteering includes nursing home for a couple years, outreach health programs in community. Job this summer at an physical therapy clinic lined up.
Difficulty finding a DO to shadow near me, but will have a good primary care MD letter. Will have good letters from science faculty.
Thank you any application advice!
