Hello,
I plan on applying to DO schools this upcoming 2018-2019 cycle. I'm having a difficult time figuring out what schools to apply to since only some schools list their matriculation stats. If anyone could give me some insight or link some resources, I would greatly appreciate it!
this is the gist of my application:
cGPA with grade forgiveness: 3.43. I did okay first 2 years (As and Bs). 3rd year was horrible and killed my GPA. 4th year I retook classes and did significantly better. So hopefully admissions will see an upward trend/improvement.
cGPA without grade forgiveness (new DO policy): 3.17
sGPA: similar to cGPA
MCAT: 502
1 year of research
Letters of rec are good to go
starting a new job as a medical assistant at a private practice
I have a phlebotomy license
shadowed a neurologist (MD) and a family physician (DO)
volunteer: feeding the homeless every month and some other events here and there.
leadership: I held the scholarship chair for my fraternity for 1 year and I was a student research leader in the research lab I worked in.
Unfortunately I was not published during research and I have not volunteered at a hospital yet.
Please help, thank you so much!
