Hello,
I'm a FL resident, I graduated in 2018 with a GPA 3.69 and science 3.52. I applied pretty late to MDs and DOs, I got 2 interviews at LECOM Bradenton (accepted) and Touro Nevada (next week). I have also been accepted to a masters program. I'm not in love with the LECOM curriculum or the school in general. I believe my application is generally lacking in volunteering, science research and the fact that I applied pretty late. I would prefer MD over DO, but I am fine with going DO. Should I go to LECOM? I think I'm leaning towards reapplying next year and aiming for MD. Do you think I would benefit from getting a masters in that time (could also do research and volunteering) or find a job in research? Thanks for any advice!
