Well here goes....
I graduated from undergrad with a 3.0 science and 3.3 cum GPA. And DPT with a 3.6 GPA. Ive heard people talking about after 10 years admissions wont look as much into undergrad but Im only 3 years out of undergrad.
Also my grad GPA isnt stellar. If I retake and average 3.75 and only shoot for DO then I can have a cum and science GPA of around 3.6 (with DO grade forgiveness) because the only thing that brought my cGPA down was science otherwise I had a 3.7(being a pre-PT major I have alot of sciences).
I guess my main question is usually non trads have other degrees and never took sciences. Obviously if I retake a science its expected that i do better. Will that show the upward trend? Do I need to retake more high level classes besies BIo, Chem and Physics 1 and 2 such as genetics and biochem? this is assuming I get at least a 28 on my MCAts (for DO school)
Finally how does all this sound for MD (with a >31-32 on MCAT)
Take into consideration Id like to stay in NY.
Any help/suggestions would be great. If there were any other PT or other health professional to MD/DO your story would be good to hear in how you went about doing it.
