I need some help listing some DO schools since I’m only applying to DO. Do you think I have shot at any DO schools? I might be considering to apply to state MDs. I appreciate the feedback
1. cGPA 3.27 and sGPA 3.2 calculated by AACOMAS. cGPA 3.27 and sGPA 3.1 by AMCAS upward trend. Current post bacc 3.5. Graduated with an undergraduate gpa of 3.5 in 2023. Currently in my gap year working, volunteering and taking post bacc at my university.
2. MCAT: 505
3. State of residence: Texas
4. Hispanic Mexican/American. Might be URM.
5. Clinical experience: 150 hours ED clinical volunteering. 750 hours as a Medical Assistant. Both are current, which I will accumulate more hours.
6. Shadowing experience: 20 hrs shadowing DO at ED.
7. Research experience: 300 hrs as a volunteer research during my junior and senior year of undergrad. Neuroscience related. No publications but worked closely with professors.
8. Non-clinical volunteering: 500 hrs in total volunteering in church, going to homeless and immigration centers.
9: Other extracurricular activities: 1000 hrs Leadership experience at a youth group church. My role was to look for community service opportunities and engage the youth to serve others. 800 hrs as a tutor/mentor for high school students. 2000 hrs as a personal caregiver to my mother.
10. Deans list for a couple of semesters. Graduated honors cum-laude. 3 LORs so far 2 from professors and 1 MD.
Thank you!
