Finished a masters program for biomedical sciences with a 3.2 gpa but had a 2.9 gpa in undergrad. Looking to apply to DO school with some research experience through the masters program and 2 years working in a PT office with patient care experience. Do I have a decent chance to get into DO school? If so what MCAT score would I have to get?

You would need a MCAT score of 500+ for a chance at DO interviews. mainly at the newer schools. Post your MCAT score here when available.

I’m taking an MCAT prep course this summer and trying to get as close to a 510 as I can get, also during the next year applying for a job as a medical scribe and shadowing a DO doctor for a letter of rec to add to the resume. Hoping all this will help

Wanted to also ask, I got a C in orgo 1 but a C- in orgo 2 so planning to retake, would it be recommended to just retake both or just orgo 2. It’s been years since I’ve taken these classes.

Retake both if possible.
