I have finished my aacomas application and I am ready to submit but when I was clicking off schools It hit me that this became real and I want to really make sure that I am applying to schools that I want to attend, so that way im not making a thread like other people trying to choose whether to attend a school they never really wanted to go to in the first place. I am also trying to figure out whether I have a good shot at applying to certain schools. I am sort of a wierd applicant, I had a terrible GPA the first 3 years of my undergraduate degree, It took me 5 years to graduate due to remedial classes my first year( I only pulled off 12 credits freshmen year, the rest were worth nothing) However I started an upward trend my fourth year but during my fifth year it really showed and I pulled deans list 2 semesters in a row. Im worried that my GPA will ruin me but I did come from a Science heavy school. I have been taking practice tests and I know that with a 3.18 overall and a 3.02 science that If I get a 30+ I will get into schools, So I have the whole month to study and I have had a few practice tests into the 30's already and I plan on sitting for the exam in July. So far I have these DO schools listed and some MD's as well. I am a NJ resident, I went for schools that are oos friendly and that I have an interest in going to and that would take an applicant like me. so here goes, if you have any I should add or remove please feel free to critique As I am about to pay almost 1000 dollars on primary apps both DO and MD.
