Please be completely honest. Thank you! I'm not quite sure how to improve my application.

3 new EC's for the upcoming application process: EMT, additional homeless volunteering at an organization, and Toastmaster's.

This is upcoming cycle is my 2nd cycle. 1st cycle was all rejections with exception of 1 post-II WL. I would take more post-bacc classes to raise my GPA, but I literally ran out of hard science classes to take at the institution I did my post-bacc in. I took every single upper division and prerequisite courses I possibly could. I would have to go to another institution to keep raising my GPA.

How many credits did you accomplish for your post-bacc since you did one for several yrs? But none-the-less that had to be a great upward curve from undergrad + MCAT. I would believe you definitely should've had a shot at both MD and especially DO schools. Where did you apply?

Oh, yes. I posted here before realizing there was a WACM page. I'm pretty new to SDN.
