Hello everyone,
I am a second semester sophomore studying BIOL-Biochemistry at an accredited university with with a cGPA of 2.75 and a sGPA of 2.55. As crazy as it sounds, I have always wanted to work in a hospital and do something with patient care. I struggle in test taking but put effort in studying. I don't always get the results, but when I do, it is extremely satisfying. I am interested in DO school, but due to low GPA, I am extremely scared. Working in medicine has always been my dream. PA school seems interesting to me as well, but they have a few different requirements, and I know they are competitive as well. I do not know what to do. PA school focuses on more volunteer base while DO would like research. I obviously cannot shoot for both? I know my GPA has to be a lot higher for both, but I am struggling in making my decision. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful!!
