With a 506 MCAT, 3.18 cGPA, and 3.76 sGPA as a California ORM applicant, your strong science GPA is definitely a positive factor, but the cumulative GPA may make some highly competitive MD programs more challenging. I would recommend applying broadly and considering a mix of MD and DO schools. Be sure to highlight any upward academic trend, clinical experience, research, volunteering, and leadership activities in your application. Also, check each school's GPA screening policies carefully, as some place greater emphasis on recent coursework or science GPA. If you're comparing academic requirements across schools, it can also be useful to convert your CGPA using a cgpa to percentage calculation to better understand how different institutions evaluate academic performance. A balanced school list and a strong overall application can still give you a solid chance of success.
