I agree. GPA (science more than cumulative) is going to hurt you. Your MCAT is right in line w/ averages at a lot of schools (I think...apparently it changes every cycle!).

Don't forget you can retake classes and if you get a better grade, it'll replace the old one. That can boost a science GPA very quickly!

Unless you've got an amazing life story that would make their jaws drop I say wait a cycle.

I'm actually going to say maybe. I think it depends on the rest of the application. How unique and meaningful is it?
Is your essay outstanding?
URM?
Work experience and other activities?
Though I do agree lack of DO shadowing will limit your choices greatly.

You'd be auto-reject at my school with that cGPA. Overall you're barely competetive. You might have best luck at the newest schools.

sGPA or cGPA under 3.0 is auto reject at most schools. I know because it happened to me before..
