Hey everyone,
I'm an RN in Columbia, MO and a lifelong (except I went to college in Pittsburg, KS) Missouri resident.
My first two years of college were a time of "experiencing life", in which I partied too much and didn't study enough as a Chemisty Major. I recieved 2 D's (Chemisty II and Organic Chemisty II). I did well in all of my other sciences (Biology, A&P, MicroBio). But my 3rd year I switched to Nursing. I have a BSN now and a 3.36 gpa (The GPA my last 3 years was a 3.78 though). I plan on retaking both the classes I recieved D's in (I work for Univ of Missouri Hospital so classes are 75% off ) as well as finishing up all the pre-reqs.
I am taking my MCAT in January and need to know a score that could get me into Med-School (and I am not picky, DO and MD are the same to me). I don't care if the school is an Ivy league or whichever, because everyone that leaves med-school is called the same thing..Doctor. I know that my experience as an RN in a critical care unit (I work in Cardiac ICU) will help and my list of humanitarian work will help as well. And I think that if you retake your classes you don't do well in, the new grade replaces the old on your GPA at least.
Any advice and help would be welcomed. I plan on applying (and this is a ways away and after I recieve my MCAT score) to A.T. Still (Kirksville, MO), University of Missouri, Kansas City University of Medical and Biosciences, University of Iowa, Creighton, St. Louis University and every D.O. School known to man. Thanks guys.
