ok get this scenario i am in:

i am going to retake my MCAT in January 26th. I may or may not graduate in 2008 depending on my credits. If i complete my 2nd semester of 2008, i may have one class left to do over summer.

so, if i do not have any classes left over, can i still apply to DO school? is it ok to apply early before the deadline? exactly when is the DO school deadline?? i've been trying to find that..some says march??

If i do have class left over for summer and graduate by end of summer, can i still apply before summer and matriculate after graduation during that summer of 2008?

When is the normal matriculation date for DO schools especially TUCOM-CA?

reason why i chose TUCOM-CA is because of the gpa and mcat requirements!

i am sure other DO school have similar requirements.


is it ok for me to call TUCOM-CA and talk to them about this scenario?? i want to speak with the Dean of admissions. i have his number.

ALSO, if i do not apply for 2008 and apply for 2009, what i should do during the entire year off? is there an internship or some kind of entry-level job or volunteering or anything medical related field that i can do in california? phlebotomy or EMT or something like that after graduating with BS here in florida?

please advise. thank you 🙂


also...suppose if my gpa is not good, is it possible to do post-bacc at other college instead of the one i'm currently in?

Talk to admissions at your school of choice. They're the only people that will be able to give you truely accurate info.

the jan 26th mcat is cutting it pretty close... you prob. won't get your scores back until feb 26th at the earliest. I don't think that the class is a big problem (as long as its not a pre-req)

Your class has to end before you matriculate!
