DO chances

Members do not see this ad.

I just received my MCAT scores. I got a 503 (125/125/126/127).
My cGPA is 3.56, and my sGPA is 3.55.
I have 100+ clinic volunteer hours working with the homeless
20+ shadowing hours (MD, I couldn't find a DO but I'm still looking).
I also have 2 years of research.
I optimistically already submitted my AACOMAS and would like suggestions for schools that I might have a good chance at. Thanks!

Lol. Premed brains. You are literally competitive for all of them except coastal touros and Midwestern schools

What state do you live in

 

[CaseyNCHS]

Sorry. Didn't mean to be one of those but my MCAT score has really gotten me down. I live in Georgia.

Any other clinical experience? I know some schools have been requiring some applicants to gain more clinical experience before sending them an II.

We have very similar stats (I have a 3.5 GPA and 504 MCAT) and I've been pretty successful this cycle so stats alone I think you will get some love.

I recommend applying to all of the newer schools. I wouldn't bother with the Midwesterns though.

You may still have a shot at Georgia's MD schools especially if your application bleeds primary care. apply to all of them in the south. I'm almost 100% sure you'll get interviews to all schools except maybe nova. Then pick and choose across the country. Stay away from coastal touros and Midwestern campuses. I also would stay away from the state schools (osu, Ohio, Michigan state, Texas, Rowan).

I'm currently volunteering in a clinic that serves the uninsured and homeless. I'm still shadowing. I volunteered at a hospice for 1 year.

Thanks guys. Maybe I just need to have a drink and calm down then.

I just received my MCAT scores and I'm not very thrilled. I got a 503 (125/125/126/127).
My cGPA is 3.56, and my sGPA is 3.55.
I have 100+ clinic volunteer hours working with the homeless

PCOM-GA. They have a regional bias which will work in your favor. Hit the schools in your adjacent states as well. VCOM-CC, NSU-COM, VCOM Auburn. You will be fine.

I think schools will love both of those experiences. Apply broadly and you'll be fine! Good luck to you.

im sure you'll get an interview from ACOM being from Georgia

 

[OrdinaryDO]

Wow, you should do some research before you insult some of these other pre-meds with actual LOW MCAT scores. Lol!

You're fine, but you're going to want to apply NOW to maximize your chances of acceptance. Do NOT wait.

Edit:
Read too fast and didn't see that you submitted your primary. You're fine m8. GL to you!

Scratch AZCOM as well. But OP should get tons of IIs.

AZCOM is a Midwestern school 😛


edit: by midwestern schools I meant midwestern university
