DO DO School Question

[MedicalWhiz]

What DO schools are considered the best? I've heard PCOM is good.

I was wondering what kind of GPA and MCAT scores I would need to get into a school like PCOM.

I'll graduate with around a 3.3 GPA and 29 MCAT, so would this be good enough, if coupled with a lot of DO shadowing, some hospital volunteering, and over a thousand hours of community volunteering?

What would I need to do to get into a school like PCOM, or one of the better DO schools? Thanks!

I'm from NY by the way

What is your sGPA? What was your GPA for the last year before applying (I'm looking for a steep upward grade trend)?

I think you'll get a fine education at any of them. Since you're from NY, prioritize NYCOM, the two NY TUCOMs, Rowan and PCOM. Then spread out from there.

Just me personally, I dislike LECOM's dress code and mandatory class attendance policy. But that's just me.

I'm not sure of SGPA, but yeah sophomore year was brutal, then junior and senior year all A's along with A's in all my D and C classes after a retake

For a more reliable estimate of your chances, consider figuring out your sGPA, with and without omitting the D and Cs that you retook , with this DO GPA calculation spreadsheet: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=450050

AMCAS BCPM GPA varies from AACOMAS sGPA, which includes (scroll to bottom half): http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=552026 . For AACOMAS, don't include math, and do include engineering.
