I think you need to get your gpa higher 🙁 taking as many credits as you possibly can handle to bring it up and then dominate the mcat to compensate for a lower gpa. If you are able to handle that, then add some clinical experience/shadowing/volunteering but only if you can handle it. Military service will help.

It's all about MCAT domination man, and if you're military then you'll have the discipline to study for it (I thought studying was the hardest part of the test).

It's a very steep battle for MD schools with a 3.0. Do well on the MCAT and apply broadly to DO schools.

You will likely need to do a post-bacc or MSTP to raise your GPA. A 2.8 is low for both DO and MD. If there are classes you can retake, DO schools will replace the lower grade, so that would be something to also look into.

Use the grade replacement allowed by DO schools and retake a ton of your classes. Your GPA definitely needs to be raised.
