This is my preliminary school list for osteopathic schools.
Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine of Midwestern University
Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine
All 4 VCOM campuses (With preference to Spartanburg, SC)
I had a lot harder time trying to make a school list for osteopathic schools and what to consider. Many of the schools are heavy on OOS students, and I'm scared of being screened due to my MCAT score but I'm scared of not getting into Allopathic due to my low sGPA.
- cGPA is 3.62 and sGPA is 3.38.
- 3 MCAT scores, 2 of which have expired for most if not all schools.
502 (126/124/126/126) June 2018
506 (125/128/126/127) May 2019
513 (127/126/130/130) March 2022 - South Carolina Resident
- White
- Clemson University
- At least 3500 hours as an Outpatient Orthopedic Scribe in a rural community. 150-200 volunteering at Cardiac Rehab Center.
- 300 hours of research. Nothing significant to report about it.
- 75 hours of shadowing, mostly Family Medicine (Also wanted to ask for a LoR from him but there may be an issue regarding that...) but also Orthopedics and Anesthesiology
- Volunteered with special needs children in the local baseball program (which then stopped due to Covid) Only 20 hours. Not sure if I should use this or not.
Chemistry Lab assistant for 70 hours (Note: This is not research) - I worked 400 hours at a very popular fast food place full-time for one summer inbetween inbetween Freshman and Sophomore year of college.
I took classes October 2021-December 2021 to become certified in Phlebotomy in February and have been job searching for 2 months with no success. I assume the certification is not something to mention on the app unless I can actually utilize it before submitting. - Received a certificate from the University due to completing 3 particular public health courses.
- Microbiology degree with biomedicine emphasis + Psych Minor.
Graduated 3 years ago.
Only potential ties I have OOS are Missouri. (Born there, but moved at age of 2. Grandma/majority of extended family still live there).
I'm a gay individual, so I am not looking to go anywhere that's *heavily* focused on religion. I dropped Creighton from my school list after looking at their secondary app from the latest cycle, for example.
Not applying to any AAMC-Preview schools (Saint Louis, Universidad Central del Caribe, UC Davis, UCLA, and Hawaii)
