Hello Everybody, I just received my MCAT score today and I got a 496. I am URM Hispanic, 3.6 cGPA, Air Force ROTC. ECs and all hours are in the competitive range, and I am military. Is it still worth applying this cycle? Do I have a decent shot at DO if every other part of my application is great?

Where is your state of residence? Are you fluent in Spanish? What are your clinical activities and hours? How many in person physician shadowing hours do you have? Any non clinical volunteering activities?

What advice have you gotten from your prehealth advisors?

That it is probably best to wait until next cycle, however because of AF service commitment, that would not be possible for my situation.
