My gpa overall and science i guess is about a 3.0, might be higher since DO schools replace grades and I retook a class... but my mcat is not bad i guess... 14verbal 10bio 8phys 32 total
i have a publication and lots of research experience, shadowing and volunteering... i also dance ballet professionally and teach (not enough time for a better GPA though lol) and my lor should be pretty good...
so i know i am not anywhere near a competitive applicant for most programs but is it a lost cause or should i still try and apply early and broadly?
I think cutoffs are actually 2.75.
I am pretty sure some of them are 3.0, but you would have to check with the individual schools. OP: Just make sure you check that before wasting your money and applying to a school. Your MCAT and ECs are good, so I think you willl get an acceptance somewhere.
I was told by PCOM that their Science GPA cutoff was 3.2 though before I applied... I'm glad I didn't listen to that know-nothing admissions office biatch...
Some cutoffs are even 2.5...
Pertaining to asking them:
I was told by PCOM that their Science GPA cutoff was 3.2 though before I applied... I'm glad I didn't listen to that know-nothing admissions office biatch... Look up ADMISSIONS DIRECTORS/ASST DIRECTORS and ask for them by name when you call. That way you get REAL answers.
Whoa, trash talking the school you're attending, very smooth Max.
nick i really don't give a ****... they almost caused me to not apply. The vast majority of PCOM staff is EXCELLENT, but whoever picked up that day last July was a total idiot.
2.5?!?!? WOW!!!! Really? OK, well I am still sure that some of the schools have a 3.0 cut off. I still think calling or somehow checking on the minimums is a good idea.
DMU is one that has a 3.0 science/overall GPA cutoff.

I wonder if on md applicants if the people who got accepted to places like pcom or msucom who state their gpa as 3.5 or 3.6 have that gpa because the osteo app system allows them to use repeated course grades where as without their repeats one might have a 3.2 or 3.0? Did anyone have a big difference like .4 or more between their allo and osteo gpa?
Did anybody else have a big difference in their between their allo and osteo gpa's?

My two M.C.A.T. scores had a big difference.
14 in verbal. Wow. Not many of those running around.
The way schools emphasize Verbal, I wonder if it would've been better if you had gone 11, 11, 10 to get your 32, or if it's better to get that 14 in verbal. Because that really stands out!
