As the result of a bad freshman year my overall GPA if I apply via AMCAS will be 3.05. Because of retakes, my overall GPA on AACOMAS is 3.52. My science GPA is 3.48 because I've never had to retake any science classes. I managed a 32P on the MCAT and I have pretty average extracurriculars (e.g. 40 hours shadowing, 200 hours volunteering at a hospital, etc.). So, here's my question: How much would a GPA boosting program help me when applying to MD schools? Should I just forget MD and go DO? I'd be willing to move pretty much anywhere and take out loans if a postbacc program is really going to help me that much.
Thanks for your advice!
