CUSOM is strict 3.2 cutoff, KYCOM is holistic if you have a strong MCAT, I'm waiting to find out from KCU

I have a close friend there and he said they are really holistic. He said they take SMP into consideration but they like your MCAT to be solid.

Not sure what Solid is for them. Time to do some digging

I have the MCAT but not the GPA lol. I emailed admissions and they told me they look at everything and take masters and post BSCC work into consideration with low GPA applicants

I would say my SMP is good enough but other GPAs and 501 so gun to my head, I may not get much love. On the other hand, they say they like non trads with medical experience. So I don’t know

$45 for another app is worth the shot I suppose.

I have seen that a number of DO schools have a minimum science GPA of 3.0. My overall science GPA falls below that. However, I did an SMP and got a 3.6 and have an MCAT of 518. I was just wondering if these DO schools will still consider my application? How strict are they with these minimum requirements?

Thank you so much

I would try for DO schools already. Considering you have a 3.6 from an SMP and a 518 MCAT, I think you have a chance. If you want to be sure, you might want to ask @Goro to be sure.
