Non trad, ORM,

lots of clinical experiences:

105 hours in soup kitchen.

institutional Action from 14 years ago due to just poor grades (didnt cheat or have any conduct issue)

got grades better over time

post bacc done in 2022-2024. 35 credits-4.0 GPA. I actully uplifted the IA because of straight A's
cGPA 2.7, including the post bacc GPA.


My FL averages were 493 to 496. Im happy I got MCAT score is 503 (128,122,128,125)

only had 40 hours of clinical research as an NP


I already finished applying to DO schools, not worried about them....

But need help with MD schools. Would also like to know what my chances are with them

Your chances are low for MD schools but you could try these:
Maryland
West Virginia
Eastern Virginia
Drexel
Albany
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Medical College Wisconsin
Rush
Roseman
Alice Walton
Belmont
Ponce (St. Louis)
Methodist (when it opens)
Loma Linda (if you fit their mission)
Which DO schools did you apply to?

With your NP and ICU nurse experience you could receive a MD interview. General Surgery is not difficult to match to from the higher ranked DO schools.

35 is sufficient.
