Hello Everyone, I just recently received my MCAT score and am planning on applying almost exclusively DO. I do get 20 free schools for MD with FAP so I will just send out to Florida state schools just because they will be free. If anyone has other recommendations for MD to fill up the list please advise however I am more concerned with DO due to my GPA limitations. I did quite a bit of classes via dual enrollment when I was 16-17 and did not take them serious. Due to that and my own lack of discipline I struggled with various classes. I will be enrolled in 4 upper level Biomedical Science classes this fall as a sort of DYI Post bacc at the same university I did my Undergrad at. I have heard schools such as ACOM, ARCOM, VCOM, Liberty would be good choices. Money is not an issues as I have been saving up for a while for this investment. Please offer some insight and Thank you !
