Re-Applicant in need of some serious help. I applied this cycle and received 2 DO II (rejected) and 1 MD II (waitlist). At this point I am leaning towards re-applying to specifically DO school. Based on my application I think the main hinderance was my gpa. If anyone can give me insight to maybe DO SMP linkages for this year (I know its super late) and maybe a reapplication school list that would be great. Here are my stats.
cGPA: 3.1 and sGPA: 3.0
MCAT score and breakdown: 502 (125/125/125/127)
State of residence: Maryland
Ethnicity and/or race: 27, AA female
Nontraditional: 5 gap years, completed part of a post-bacc program in Vermont but left for financial reason
Major: Community Health
Clinical experience: ~4000 hours in a FQHC in Vermont as a medical assistant. Working in primary care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and acute care. ~1500 hours in dermatology office as a medical assistant. ~1600 Clinical research associate in smoking studies and most recently COVID related work.
Non-clinical volunteering: (500 hours) in New York hospital, contributing to visits in the ED and training other volunteers on delivering compassionate bedside care. Teaching fellow with a girls health education program which I am very excited about!
Research experience: (1000 hours) extensive research experience in reproductive medicine. Performing immunohistochemical nerve staining and ligation projects on uterine arteries of rats. Assisted in publication of research presented at national conference of reproductive investigation
Shadowing experience: (~3000 hours) during my clinical work experiences, assisting in the surgical removals of skin cancers, performing biopsies, cosmetic procedures
Leadership: Starting a leadership role as a teaching fellow hoping to impact the lives of young women and girls in underserved communities to be empowered and advocates of their bodies.
Extracurricular activities: Division 1 student athlete, four year starter, earned full scholarship sophomore year during a financially difficult time, 2 conference championships, 2 NCAA appearances
Aspirations: Really passionate about OB/Gyn with hopefully specializing in reproductive oncology/endo. Also want to work in urban underserved communities specifically with minority women to provide reproductive education w/ a public health focus.
And is it a reach to apply MD or should I just forgo that all together?
