Low SMP GPA of 3.2, uGPA and sGPA of 3.0 (last 65 credits are 3.5)

502 MCAT, retaking in January

trend in SMP 3.0 --> 2.9 --> 3.4 --> 3.7, but was told trends in SMP don't mean anything because you're supposed to ace the whole thing
IF the answer is yes, I'd appreciate a school list so I can maximize my chances.

SMP was at PCOM

Where is your state of residence ? What are your ECs ? Do you have any physician shadowing or clinical volunteering hours with patient contact ?

Do the 100 hours include clinical?

You could receive interviews at some DO schools but will need to apply broadly and include all these schools:
PCOM (all schools)
LECOM (all schools)
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
NYIT (Arkansas and Montana schools)
LUCOM
LMU-DCOM
ACOM
WCU-COM
ARCOM
UIWSOM
BCOM
ICOM
RVU (new Montana school)
Noorda-COM
KHSC-COM (new school)
New schools in Orlando and at Dusquene when they open.

Great list, any idea when the Orlando school is planning to open? Or if they have received accreditation?
