NJ resident: 3.0 cGPA & 30 MCAT

[badger_badger]

what are some of the "least selective" schools that i might have a shot at?

i know my gpa is very low, but my mcat score is around average at many schools. i have spent one summer and one winter doing clinical volunteer work/shadowing physicians in third world countries. i have 4 years of research experience and 2 publications (1 of them as second author). i just graduated from harvard.

currently my top choices are: bu, tufts, temple, drexel, jefferson, and umdnj.

can someone recommend other schools on the east coast that might be within my reach and evaluate my chances?

thanks

Honestly, that 3.0 cGPA is gonna keep you out of MD schools and probably nearly all DO schools. You'd probably have to get it to around 3.3ish (and 3.15 sGPA) to be competitive for DO.

Some DO schools have gpa averages as high as 3.5.
