FutureDocDO said:Yeah. Sorry felt a little uneasy posting my low numbers.
Here goes:
Overall GPA 3.45
Science GPA 3.48
MCAT this April....> low 20's? have a feeling I didn't do so great on the Physical Section
5 years to complete undergrad, this May. Screwed up the first two years, yeah not one like other people, with 2.76. Stayed the 5th year to raise GPA to where it is now. Managed to get on the Dean's list twice, and maybe President's list this semester (looking good so far, have 1 week left before finals). Have volunteered about 100 hrs in ER. Member of TriKappa Science Society. Will graduate Cum laude....> I transferred to a private institution after my second year.
I will probably apply to most, if not all, DO schools and thinking about adding a couple of MD schools to up it to an even 30.

crys20 said:The prev poster makes good points. Apply to MD schools if you like, but be prepared for the chance that it might be throwing away alot of money. The MCAT is by far the most important factor for MD schools for sure and one below a 27 or so is not going to get you many looks at the schools. This is just a fact. DO schools will be more forgiving for sure, but like someone said it's going to come down to just how low in the 20s the score is. Again apply EARLY to maximize your chances. And who knows, tons of people think they bombed the MCAT and did much better than they thought. What kind of range were you practice tests in?
