I am interested in applying to DO schools and this cycle did not work out for me as I did not receive a single interview. I have a 3.55cGPA and 3.3sGPA (504 MCAT) and will graduate in Spring 2016. I was wondering whether I should do a post bacc for DO and which programs will be most beneficial for me to gain an acceptance? I have gotten emails from Case Western and Georgetown but I don't know which one will help me the most. I think I need to raise my sGPA the most.

Thank you all for your help!
 
Where did you apply? What were your ECs like?

You don't need a postbacc. You can apply this cycle and get accepted to at least one of the newer DO schools. Make sure to apply early and broader this time. Submit your primary in June and finish your secondaries by August. Know how to play the game. Apply smart, and have your PS edited and read over and over again.

You've already posted in another thread. You applied to all the most established DO schools and applied late with lower GPA and MCAT stats than the average of those schools. You need to cast a wider net. SDNers have already given you advice on the other thread.

Don't do a post bac. You are competative for most DO schools. I would skip the coastal Touros, CCOM, and AZCOM along with any state school that you dont share a state with. Apply broadly and you should get a number of interviews
