Just got my MCAT back and the score was 498 (123, 123, 126, 126)

I retook the MCAT from a 490 (124, 123, 121, 122)

(This is my celling unfortunately; I have so much on my plate that I don’t see a retake for now; disappointed with C/P and CARS as I had been scoring higher but can’t do much now)

Current MPH student at Emory University

Undergrad GPA: 3.6

Undergrad SGPA: 3.5

Shadowing Experience: 2 MD and 1 DO

Community Service: I started my own non-profit after my brother was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. Since inception we have raised thousands of dollars to help individuals with the same type of cancer seek treatment; I also helped build a school for the blind in a third world country one summer.

Research: Clinical Research coordinator for 2.5 years now; dealing with patients as well as behind the scenes of trials


Academic research: Abstract presentation of a patient developing a rare infection while undergoing treatment. Presented findings in Tokyo.



I am mainly interested in DO schools. I fell in love with the philosophy since I was in college and since then haven’t looked back. I am aware my MCAT is holding me back but I have really given my all for the exam and am not dissapointed as I tried my best. I am not the most intelligent person when it comes to exams but I do feel like I work hard. Just want to know where I should apply for DO schools.

Thank you and god bless

I suggest these DO schools with your stats:
Sam Houston State
UIWSOM
ACOM
ARCOM
NYIT-AR
CUSOM
VCOM (all 4 schools)
WCU-COM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
MU-COM
LECOM (all schools)
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
Many of these schools have MCAT medians in the 498 to 502 range so you should receive several interviews.

I appreciate the list. Do you think I have a fair chance at these or will the MCAT hold me back in a big way?

Your MCAT is at or slightly below the median for many of these schools so it will not hold you back.

is 498-502 the average range for DO's? Also I dropped a point in C/P from last exam, will that look bad?

Yes, for the DO schools I listed. The change in your C/P score will not matter.
