MD Low GPA, high MCAT - School options

[ER95]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what schools I should look at given the following stats:

cGPA - 3.3
sGPA - 3.2
MCAT - 520 (131/130/132/127)

I've got a little over 1000 hours of clinical experience as an ER tech, EMT experience, research experience, and all that jazz.

Even though the GPAs are really low, they speak more to my poor freshman and average sophomore years than anything. My junior and senior years were ~ 3.65 - 3.7 for both cGPA and sGPA, and I'm doing a post bac this year to continue the upward trend. I'm a NYS resident, so I'm definitely applying to SUNY schools, but I'm not sure where else to look. Thoughts?

You could try these schools with your stats:
Albany
NYMC
Quinnipiac
Vermont
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
GW
Oakland Beaumont
Western Michigan
Rosalind Franklin
St.Louis
Creighton
Tulane
Your high MCAT may attract attention at some schools but it is difficult to predict where so you will need to apply broadly.
