I know this topic has been discussed on here previously but I would like to see what options I have given my specific situation. I applied to all of the Texas schools for the 2017-2018 application cycle in late July. I only received one interview and was pre-matched at UNTHSC-TCOM. I have a 3.81 GPA (3.75 BCPM) and made a 505 (28/29 old) on my MCAT (for which I foolishly studied for only one month). I have numerous medical and non medical extra-curricular activities. I believe submitting my app late and my MCAT score was the problem this cycle. Although I liked the atmosphere at TCOM, it is in a convenient location for me, and the tuition is affordable as I am a Texas resident, I am so disappointed that this application cycle was so unsuccessful. I'm afraid going DO will potentially limit my options for certain specialties (I am currently undecided) and I will have to give up my interest in academic medicine and research. I have been debating whether or not to decline my acceptance and reapply earlier after retaking my MCAT. Thoughts?
