Hey guys,
I have been lurking here for quite a while and have found plentiful of useful information. I have a few questions if anyone would mind answering. I am currently wrapping up my BSc in Biology, and have a 3.50 GPA in Montreal, Canada. I started out super slow with a 2.2GPA but have managed in last year and half to only get a single B+ (with rest being all A's). I'll be taking my MCAT this summer and hoping that the upward trend continues in order to apply for D.O schools. My questions are:
1. I have not taken 5 classes (or full course load) during all the semesters, so how would that affect my situation? (however I was 'full time' in each semester)
2. Being Canadian, what sort of disadvantages am I facing applying to US D.O schools, and how significant are these challenges?
3. What are ideal extra curricular activities that you would recommend (other than hospital and one-on-one tutoring that I have been involved in)?
It would be awesome to hear back from anyone! Thank you in advance.
