I have posted on this site for a little while now and have gotten a lot of great information. People know their stuff here. Now I guess I have a question that I am really just looking for some advice from people who have gone through this process. My GPA is 3.05 with a 2.81 science. After this summer, I should have a 3.15GPA with a 3.02science if I Ace the classes I am taking this summer. Than I am going to start with classes at Harvard Extension with two more each in the fall and spring. If I do well in those classes than I could end with a 3.24GPA, 3.20science. I took the MCAT twice, first time got a 25, 2nd got a 24 because I found out my dad had cancer two weeks before the test. I show a big upward trend in my grades since freshman year. I graduated from a top liberal arts college with a degree in chem. I won a fellowship in holistic medicine and studied in Russia and Scotland. I also just found out that my research from my holistic fellowship is going to get published in an Anthro journal. I was a RA, TA, research assistant for 2 years with a pub, have a job as a phebotomist/lab assistant, shadowed DOs and MDs with more to come, great LoRs, captained rugby for two years, chaired a volunteer organization that taught kids to read for two years and have dealt with family stuff giving me a close view of the medical field and how healing can best take place. So with all that, do I seem like a viable candidate for DO schools if I apply this summer? I know I am on the lower end, but I hope with my experiences and desire that I can get a few acceptances. I am also 22, 23 this summer, and from NH. UNECOM, PCOM and NSUCOM are my top choices and I will only be applying to DO schools because I better connect with that philosophy and plan to write more on my fellowship with the osteopathic ideology in mind. Cheers and thanks.
