WAMC/School List? : low sGPA, upward trend, good MCAT

[milkshake-33]

I'm applying this cycle and wanted to get an idea of my chances and maybe a school list of where I should apply (MD and DO)?

Stats:

cGPA: 3.5
sGPA: 3.0
MCAT: 513

I really messed up my first two years of college (which is the reason for the sadly low sGPA) but my last 3 semesters were 4.0s and I tried making up for it with my MCAT. I'm a MN resident and a ORM. Lots of clinical and volunteer hours in urban/underserved neighborhoods, and have a first author publication coming soon if that matters.

shadowing: 75 hours
Clinical volunteer hours (all direct patient at free clinics): 500
Poster presentation
500 hours research with publication coming up
PI on clinical research study through IRB
Americorps during my gap year along with research and continued volunteering


anything helps, thank you!!

I just rechecked my transcripts for AMCAS and my sGPA is actually a 2.98, do the schools on this list still apply?? @Faha @Goro

You may be screened out at a few MD schools with a sGPA of 2.98 but it is not possible to predict where.

Should i still try to apply MD to the schools you listed? or should I just apply only DO

You can apply to all the MD and DO schools I listed.

Chances best with U of MN


The problem is that you only have 1.5 years of reinvention, and that's usually not enough data points for Adcoms to see the real you. I like to see two solid years. I'm thinking that you need a one more semester of aceing coursework, or do an SMP.
