You will need 15 on both PS and BS, in order to make up for your 2 on the VR.

So mean and yet so funny...

In all seriousness, there is no way to really answer that question. An acceptance really depends on a lot of factors including your ECs, MCAT, GPA, and the interview. That said, in general, mid 20s is the average for DO schools. Good luck!

APPLY EARLY!!! and an mcat score of 25 and above should give you a pretty decent chance....if you apply late, you will need to go up to at least a 28 or even over 30

work on your grammar first.

Without sounding mean--and fully aware that my making this statement will probably put me under my own scrutiny--but so many of the people that post on here have terrible grammar. Is it just that you type quickly and panic to click "submit reply"?

It depends more on your science GPA than your overall GPA.

True! I was laughing out loud as I was thinking how mean some people can be.

Yeah but sdn is full of grammar, spelling and typing police. The number I saw checking some threads this AM really shocked me.

OK, can we stop picking on the OP and give a fair answer?

Onstar: in reality, a 3.3 GPA is alright, not outstanding, depending on your undergraduate institution and how challenging the classes you took were. You want to shoot for at the very very least a 24 or 25 MCAT, and if you want to be a fairly competative applicant, I recommend shooting for at least a 29 or 30. Above a 30, you will be an attractive applicant and it will help compensate for a mediocre GPA.

As for the "2 on the VR" joke made above, it is actually important to brush up on your spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension... remember that 2/4 sections on the MCAT are Verbal Reasoning and writing essays that must be effective, succinct, and reasonably free of spelling and grammatical errors.

As for research: it's okay not to plan on doing research if it doesn't float your boat 🙂. There are plenty of good physicians out there who are not researchers, and DO schools generally have far less emphasis on research than MD schools. So that's not a problem.

Good luck!
