This might seem very overkill to apply this cycle, given the terrible stats that I have. I am currently on my second gap year. I would like to apply and get into any DO school in the nation. I have one more MCAT attempt left and I plan on retaking if my score is too low. I was suggested by an instructor to take an SMP and to take the MCAT and get a 504-506 range. I'm not sure what to do, as if I don't do well in the SMP, I can essentially get banned for DO schools for good. I also am not sure if I can afford two years of tuition to raise my GPA. I really want to apply and get in this cycle in any DO school but if I take the MCAT in September (I have been studying) to raise up my MCAT to a 503. Would it at all be possible for me to have an admission?

1. 3.3595 cgpa and 3.19 sgpa- AACOMAS
2. 488
3. Texas, Arkansas resident
4. Indian American
5. University of Texas at Austin
6. MA volunteering at clinic, PCT at hospital, student volunteer at hospital
7. Member of 2 FRI groups, Peer mentor, Physics TA
8. ER peds shadowing, cardiothoracic surgery shadowing
9. N/A (no non-clinical volunteering)

Are you saying you have already taken the MCAT 6 times with your highest score 488?

I haven’t taken it 6 times. It was my first attempt. Sorry it’s a typo! I meant before applying for this cycle
