Hi Everyone!
I did a DIY post-bacc at a local 4-year college near my house. I came out of my undergrad with a 2.5 cGPA, and a 2.1 sGPA. I have now been doing the post-bacc for 1.5 years (Fall, Spring and now), and have gotten a 3.9, 4.0 and hopefully another 3.95+ this semester. Retook all my sciences, and took some random psych, stats, sociology courses as well. This spring I am planning on simply studying for MCATs, and getting together my research experience, ECs, LORs, etc.
With this being said, I still feel as if my undergrad GPA is still a HUGE blemish on my application, despite doing well in my post-bacc. I don't even know if I would get accepted into any DO schools if I were to apply. My EC's are pretty solid and can use a tiny bit more.
What should my next step be? Should I try applying for SMPs, possibly do another 1-2 years before applying to DO schools? I feel like even if I do get a good MCAT score, I still have no shot because my extremely low undergrad GPA is overshadowing everything else.
