Sorry I think I posted this in the wrong thread so I'm posting it here now.
Should I apply to some schools this cycle? I've called LECOM and they're the only ones that don't really care about letters of rec. from a physician and don't screen for sub 3.00 sGPA. Also found LMCOM which requires a letter but said bc of covid I can still apply but state that I will be getting one asap. Waiting for covid to end so I can shadow, not much I can do to increase my hours rn or get a letter. As far as my gpa.. let alone sGPA, I'm planning to do a post bacc and get it up a bit. But would I have a decent shot with my current stats? Or strictly do a post-bacc now and get my E.C.'s up too? Also I am URM and non-trad
cGPA: 3.18
sGPA: 2.8
MCAT: 502
Volunteer: 50 clinical and 90 non-clinical
Shadow: Unfortunately only 12 and those were for an M.D.
Worked as pharmacy tech for 6 months. Not sure if that's worth anything
Got 3 letters from science professors and 2 from other professionals but still no D.O. letter which pretty much all schools require (or strongly prefer) but like 2.
Also don't care where I get accepted (as long as not Caribbean)
