That is cute! How many post-bacc credits do you have? Wayne State, for example, will replace your total GPAs with your post-bacc GPA if you have taken at least 20 post-bacc credits.
Venezuelans are not considered URM but language skills will help and service to the Hispanic community will be looked upon favorably.
I think you do have a good chance at MD but you will need to find schools that don't screen GPAs below a 3.0. Your MCAT score will also be very important.
49 credits post bacc of just straight science. Bio 1,2 ; Gen chem 1,2 ;physics 1 and 2, Cell bio w lab, Anatomy and phys 1,2 w lab; Orgo 1,2 w lab- All A's but B in Physics 1 and Bio 2 (evolution, but this I took before Post bacc). Then I have my last 2 semesters in my undergrad all A's in Upper level psych courses and sociology, philsophy, anthropology. I know i've said this a lot on these forums but this is my first attempt at a premed curriculum, so it's not like I for example, got a D in orgo the first time and retook it for an A.
So my GPA for my last 71 credit hours is 3.9-3.92 I think. But before that my academic record is a mess. I racked up so many bad credits because before I majored in psych I wanted to do music in art school and didn't take it seriously, my GPA is stuck.
I don't want to come off as a fair weather fan in the context of MD vs DO. I really agree with the DO philosophy, and the holistic approach to healthcare has been seared in me at a young age. My mom was very into holistic stuff and introduced me to it, and took such an approach to her dental practice. My dad is an MD though and I feel like it would make him proud if I did it too. No i'm not doing it for my dad, but I would really feel happy inside knowing that I made my father proud even if it means getting a title that would make him that much more happier. But I would be happy either way as a DO or MD. I just want to practice medicine.
Plus, I won't have to worry about taking both the USMLE and COMLEX, because I want to do an internal medicine residency.
