Hello all
I am 23 years old. Graduated undergrad as a history major with a 3.098 cumulative GPA.
Then I did a postbacc program at Drexel for non science majors and got a 3.1 science GPA.
I took the new MCATS and got a 520.
HOWEVER, due to the change in AACOMAS regarding GPA, they will no longer do grade replacement. So my science GPA has dropped to a 2.88
I have a number of ECs including 100+ hours of shadowing, research at DuCOM and NJMS (my data was published), worked part time at a childrens learning center, volunteered at a clinic for dementia patients, volunteered to teach high school students during their health class about diabetes/sex ed/healthy eating/etc thru Drexel, intern at Youth Services of Philadelphia, peer advisor during my undergrad, and worked with International Medical Health Organization for fundraising on multiple occasions.
What are my chances for a DO school? I know my GPA is low =/, but does a high MCAT score balance it out?
You can be brutally honest. I am applying starting this summer, to hopefully start summer 2018.
Thanks so much!
