Hey guys,
So I need some help in the decision making process. I have applied to 3 post bac programs and got into 2 (still waiting on the 3rd which was the university of toledo). I was accepted to Midwesterns 1 year MA program, and LECOMs 1 year post bac. I think I like Midwestern better, but LECOM has a conditional acceptance to med school, where as Midwestern only guarantees an interview.
So, my stats: Im a 23 year old with a 3.42 GPA (3.16 sGPA) with a 29S on my MCAT. Have hospital research experience (worked at childrens hospital this past year) and lots of shadowing and ECs. I applied to DO/MD schools this year and did not get in.
So I guess my question is, with my stats and a strong performance in the postbac, should I get in somewhere if I dont have the guaranteed acceptance? I really loved Midwestern and was not a huge fan of the size of LECOMs campus or the dress code. I also like that you actually get a masters degree from Midwestern (LECOM is a certificate). However, I want to be a doctor more than anything and want to make sure that happens So I dont want to make the wrong decision.
Does anyone have any advice about what I should do with my stats and current options? Any help would be appreciated!!!!
