Non-trad.
First person in my family going to college.
Immigrated when I was 7.
My engineering background. Worked for a year as a manager, then found out I loved the medical field. Got my EMT license, did post-bacc classes, volunteered, took MCAT.
What are my chances for DO? Was wondering if I should retake the MCAT for DO schools? I am aiming to be FM or IM, no fancy specialties. Just want to be a doc
Thank you guys!!
