hey everyone!!! i am graduating from UK in two weeks, and am applying to PCSOM (as well as a few other schools). i have a couple of friends down there already, and they seem to like it. i can't wait to come visit. i really think DO is the way to go (for me at least). my gpa and mcat scores (~3.5, 29) are very competitive at UK and UofL, but i have a bit of a questionable academic history. Straight out of high school i did very poorly. I subsequently left school for 4 years. Since returning, I was fortunate enough to be granted academic bankruptcy from my prior record, and have done reasonably well while working full time in several different health care settings. i have worked as a CNA in the heart center (cardiac surgical) at Good Sam in cincy, as a phlebotomist at UofL, and (for the last year) doing cancer research through the Division of Infectious Diseases at UK. My questions are: how bad will my academic bankruptcy hurt me? will my work experience help to negate that? is a 3.5 still considered good if it includes a couple C's? Sorry for being so long winded, but any thoughts would be appreciated. thanx!!!
ps. i intended to post this only on this thread but it is also on as it's own thread. so if you've already seen it -- my apologies!
