I will be applying to DO schools this cycle and I was wondering if a post-bacc is necessary based on my stats or if I should just spend my gap year scribing and apply with my current stats. Also, if I end up doing a post-bacc, would I be able to update the DO schools on my performance in the fall semester or would they already have made a decision by then? I would like to apply this year and not have to take another gap year, and idk if my sGPA is low enough to warrant a full year of post-bacc to be finished before applying.
cGPA of 3.50
sGPA of 3.31 (BIG improvement junior/senior year)
504 MCAT (126/125/125/128)
PA resident
ORM (Asian)
Top 25 LAC
~150 hrs clinical volunteering
No non-clinical volunteering :/
Bio research junior and senior year (~200ish? hours)
leadership position in a science magazine club, 2 campus jobs
Dean's list fall 2018
I don't have that many shadowing hours (only 16) so I will be shadowing a DO (trying to get ~100 hrs within a month, as well as a LOR) as early as shadowing is allowed again.
