I just want to say thank you to anyone reading this. Any sort of help or guidance would be appreciated.

I am a URM, Black Male, from NY at a T25.
Current GPA: 3.07
Current sGPA: 2.59

GPA by years
Fall 2018: 2.5 with a C+ in Calc I, C- in Bio 1 Spring 2019: 2.65 with a D+ in bio 2, C+ in physics 1 Summer 2019: A in Chem 1 at CC
Fall 2019: 3.77 with A- in both Chem 2, Physics 2 Spring 2020: 2.86 with a C in Bio 2 (Retake)

I have about 8 upper div science courses including Biochem, Anatomy, Physiology, Motor Control plus Stats and OChem 2.

ECs: 1000 hours as a student assistant athletic trainer (works with PTs/ATs doing rehab for D1 athletes), 750 hours as a direct support professional, 240 hours as specimen collector/receptionist, 60 hrs volunteering/tutoring high schoolers, 640 hours between freshman summer and sophomore summer working at a High-Education Non-Profit.

Assuming I get all As, my sGPA will be a 3.3. Will that be enough to get into a state school? I've been thinking about a post-bacc, SMP, or a DIY courses at CC. Given my situation which would be the best.

A big reason for the GPA jump was being diagnosed with ADHD and receiving meds to help. How much will adcoms see this diagnosis as a crutch?

Any advice/suggestions will be helpful. Thank you
If you can get a 3.3 AND have a good
MCAT score AND are URM, you MAY have a shot.

Your best option would be to do a DIY post bac, ace it, then do well on your MCAT. Regardless, make sure you apply to DO as well.
