Hi,
I recently got interested in doing a DO, the holistic approach is really appealing =P The thing is that I'm a 3rd year undergrad at UT with a 2.6 GPA (academics came second to work). I know I need to pull that up drastically. I failed Chinese cause of time constraints, I just missed way too many classes. I was wondering for the AAMACS gpa calculation, if I just test out of it, will they still count the F?
I need some help with the other stuff though. I want to find a DO to shadow and also to work in a hospital to get a feel for what it feels like.
Is there anything else I can do and should do?
Additionally, I read that I need a reccomendation letter from a pre-med committee. Does that apply to UNT?
Also, should i be looking out of state also? I know how expensive it can be. 30-40k a year....
Thank you.
