Lookin' good for academics and ECs.

Some schools want a LOR from a non-science professor.

Get more non clinical hours projected and you’ll be fine for MD

Where is your state of residence ? When are you planning to apply ?

UIWSOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
LUCOM
VCOM ( all 3 schools)
CUSOM
ICOM

LECOM ( all schools)
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia

Wise Faha, are you suggesting this list because OPs MCAT is on the low-end for reinventers - or another reason?

 

[Osminog]

OP, please discount Faha's list. Aim high. With your MCAT and excellent post-bacc and SMP performance, you're competitive at all DO schools.

Hi All,

Looking for some school advice and... what my chances are! Let me know if there is some key element I am missing.

UGPA: 3.10
sGPA: 3.01

Postbac GPA: 4.0 (15 credits)
SMP GPA: 4.0 (30 credits)

MCAT: 508 (unbalanced: C&P 130, BB: 126, CARS: 125, PS: 127)

Clinical experience: 5000+ (2500 as a Medical Scribe, ~3000 as an organ transplant coordinator)
Clinical volunteering: 32 hours (at a nursing home)

Nonclinical volunteering: 160 hours (100 hours tutoring underprivileged children, 50 hours volunteering in a soup kitchen, 10 hours teaching students at elementary schools)

I have 1 DO letter (anticipating a second one will be submitted by next week), 2 MD letters, 4 science letters.

Any input you have would be greatly appreciated!

You're fine for any DO school. Send an app to mine. No, I can't tell you where. Just go west of the Missouri River.
Try your state MD school as well.

Make sure add Touro CA and NV as well Western Pomona and PNWU.

I would get a non-science LOR, you are good for all DO schools except maybe KCU cause they have a GPA requirement of 3.25 c/sGPA, but idk how strict they are with it, and I would throw in a couple MD schools too (your instate schools)

Only NOVA and PCOM require this as far as I know. Can’t speak for MD
