Hi guyss. Any feedback you could provide would be super helpful. So basically I have a 2.9 cGPA/2.5 sGPA (183 units). Yea not good ik but I was going through a lot mental health wise and did have an upward trend my last two years until my last quarter where i got straight c's :/. Anyways I took the MCAT recently and to my surprise I got a 520. So here I am unsure what to do. Should I apply broadly to DO's and pray I get in? My concerns are quality/access to rotations, and possibly hindering my ability to match in the future while also not wanting to attend a for profit school. Or should I do a post bacc? And if so a formal one or a DIY post bacc? Like does the prestige of the institution I do my post bacc matter? What about an SMP? I'm just so lost and having a really hard time navigating my situation so any help would be much appreciated.
Just for added context I have a couple thousand hours of research and am currently working as a scribe in the ED.
