Hello all! I applied June 2017 (2016-2017 cycle) with these stats:
AACOMAS: cGPA: 2.99
sGPA: 3.12
TMDSAS: cGPA: 3.01
sGPA: 3.01
MCAT: 497 (C/P 123 CARS 121 B/B 127 P/S 126)
URM Male AA
Obviously, I didn't get accepted into any DO schools. I plan on reapplying during the upcoming 2019 cycle and I'll be retaking the MCAT in ~ 8-9 months. I begin studying this upcoming week. Can I use letters of recommendation from my previous application? If not, should I take a couple classes like General Psychology or A&P II to raise my cGPA and sGPA and possibly get new letters from these science professors. Second question, should I just focus solely on studying for the MCAT and shadowing a DO? I didn't have a DO letter during my first application so it's definitely one of my main priorities. I work full time, so I'm trying to manage my time and schedule as efficiently as possible to warrant the best outcome. I do plan on going part time at the beginning of next year, as a scribe, to further strengthen my application. Any input or further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
