Grade replacement for classes you did poorly in should be fine for DO's but it will be more of an issue for MD schools. Do well on the rest of your classes and ace the MCAT so that you have more options.
 
I got a D- in calc and never retook it. I've been fairly successful this cycle. Obviously just a n=1 but it might be useful information.

Thank you! Any insight is useful. If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA/MCAT?

Low gpa's, cGPA = 3.18, sGPA = 3.04. 513 MCAT. I had actually talked to multiple schools about the calculus grade and most of them said not to worry about it since it was a not a prerequisite. I focused on retaking some chemistry classes that I didn't do so great on the first time. Your gpa is already in a much better position than mine.

Where have you had some success this cycle if you don't mind me asking? Does that mean some acceptances? And how did you study for the MCAT? Congrats on having a good cycle! That's the best anyone can hope for

Acceptance at LUCOM, waitlist at BCOM. Just interviewed at LECOM and I have upcoming interviews at TUNCOM, PNWU, and ACOM. And hopefully some more interviews to come since I would like to have some other options besides LUCOM. I'm from CA so I am hoping to hear from the CA schools soon.
