Hey guys,
So I'm a junior in college and I just need some insight. So my current sGPA is 2.95 and my overall GPA is 3.34. I have 1 C, 3 C+s, and 1 D (but I retook the class and made a B+), these are all in my science classes. I have bomb af extracurriculars, and have yet to take the MCAT. I plan on doing a master's in medical science after I graduate and then apply to both MD/DO programs. I honestly don't care where I go to med school, I just want to get in. I'm really passionate about medicine and helping people, and can't think of doing anything else with my life. I still have 3 semesters and the MCAT left and I plan on working my butt off! But realistically, my science GPA won't go above a 3.3, and I won't be able to go through the prehealth committee at my school at all. What DO schools should I focus on the most? Which grad programs make their students the most competitive applicants? Also, how can I justify my failures to them? Honestly, what should I do?
