Hi everyone,

I am a Chemistry student at the University of Toronto in Canada and I wanted to get some advice from the SDN community on the post-bacc I am planning to create.

First off, my goal is DO and DO only. I want to become a physician that is able to treat patients with OMM.

Without grade replacement,

My cGPA is 3.15 and my science GPA is 3.3.

My MCAT is 507.

My ec's are concentrated on patient interactions such as ER volunteering, baby clinic volunteering and renal unit volunteering at the local hospital.

Human pathophysiology
Genetics (still haven't completed this pre-req)
Gross Human Anatomy
Immunology
Virology

How is that for a post-bacc to show DO schools that I am able to handle the curriculum?

Please do advise.
 
I would say that looks pretty good. With your MCAT and doing well in those classes you should be in good shape for most DO schools. I'm assuming you already have shadowing and non-clinical volunteering? Also, a DO LOR will be very beneficial.
