Long time viewer, first time poster.
Here are my stats:
I'm a senior, currently with a 3.5 overall GPA, and serving as an officer in my school's health science society.
I am married with a 6-month old, and a former Navy Corpsman (medic). I have about 3.5 solid years of direct patient care, working under the licence of a Navy MD. I am also a registered member of the Navajo tribe.
Academically, I could be better off. I have a C in organic chem 2 and also a C in physics 1. I have a D in calc 1 but retook and got a B. I calculate my science GPA at about 3.2. With DO grade replacement, it bumps up to a 3.4.
I have not taken the MCAT yet - having the baby took every ounce of spare time that I have.
After I graduate this fall my wife and I will be doing a year long volunteering gig on a reservation, and during that time I plan to study for and take the MCAT.
I plan to apply to both DO schools and also programs like INMED at South Dakota. However, I'm really fretting that my science GPA is going to keep me from even getting an interview.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
