So I am getting ready to take the MCAT in 2 weeks and I want to know what would be an ideal/minimum score given my credidentials.
Graduated in 2011 from a great university with a major in Integrative Physiology with a 3.5 GPA and a sGPA of 3.3
I have gotten As is most of the pre-reqs including ochem, statistics and physics.
I was an undergraduate TA for general chem 1 and 2 as a sophomore in college.
I played club volleyball for my school and once I quit, my GPA for subsequent semesters was a 3.8.
I currently work full time as a medical assistant at an ear nose and throat office (going on 1 year). I used to work at a Dermatology office. I tutored college students in math. I am volunteering at a week long camp this summer for children with cancer. I was a subject for a research project that spanned about 1-2 years.
I have many hours of volunteering and shadowing at hospitals, PT clinics etc. LORs from 2 MDs, and both my chemistry professors in college.
I plan to apply to DO schools. On my practice MCATs, I keep getting 23, but I know I am capable of doing better.
I want to know what I should shoot for to be able to get into a DO program. I really like Rocky Vista because I am from Colorado. But of course, I will apply to others.
What do you all think?
Thanks!
