Hello,

I just got my MCAT score which I know is not a good score (128/123/125/127).
I am going to apply this upcoming cycle and I was wondering if I still have a shot for DO schools.

  • 3.62 cgpa, 3.44 sgpa (upward trend / took two gap years after graduation)
  • 503 MCAT (Second Attempt: 128/123/125/127) ----- went from 495
  • ORM
  • NJ Resident
  • Has a LOR from MD surgeon (I don't have any DO Letter)
  • 280 Hours Clinical Volunteering
  • 400 Hours Non-Clinical Volunteering (Mostly with a homeless shelter and other non-profit organizations)
  • Have an undergraduate research experience

MD School List:
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University
Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School
Rutgers New Jersey Medical School
Hackensack-Meridian School of Medicine
Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science



DO School List:
Touro-NY
NYITCOM
UNECOM
LECOM
PCOM
CCOM
CUSOM
MU-COM
DMU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
KCU-COM
AZCOM
TUNCOM
WESTERN
ROWANSOM
VCOM

Because I am in my 30s and already took two gap years after graduation, I'm thinking about applying to most DO schools to increase my chances at DO.



@Goro @Faha @gyngyn
I would truly appreciate advice from anyone.
I've been preparing myself for many years and I'm not sure if I should give up my dream due to the low MCAT and CARS score.
Do you think I still have a chance?
