Hi everyone, TIA for the replies.
I am a senior graduating this spring 2021 in Biomedical Sciences. I unfortunately have a few blemishes on my record as I did not know what I wanted to do early on in college and did not care about school. I received a C in Bio1, Phys 1 and F in Orgo 1. Which I have since retook and got As in . With that being said, I have a 3.55 GPA and 3.3sGPA. I have not taken the MCAT or GRE. If anyone has any advice of what I should do after graduation, that would be great. Should I go into a post bacc, masters, or just focus on studying on the MCAT?

GPA is ok for DO, but need a post-bac if you want MD.

Agree with above. Ideally doing a job that will increase your clinical exposure (scribing is the classic one), or a research job with some flexibility to do other ECs, if you're happy going DO. If you really want to be competitive for MD then you need a post-bacc.

I have 700 non clinical volunteer hours, 1 year of research at two different place, 50 hours of shadowing, 2 years as a CNA, 1 year as a medical assistant then promoted to clinical coordinator so 4 months at that, was involve in premed/science clubs, d1 tennis and sorority. I have an amazing LOR from one doctor and one science professor.
