Do you have any physician shadowing hours or clinical volunteering/employment hours with patient contact ? Any non clinical volunteering ?

Hi, I am a SC resident and have taken the mcat twice with my highest score being 503, my cGPA and sGPA is 3.99! I want to apply to the the three IS MD schools, however, what do you think my chances would be? I also need to make a list of DO schools, I want to apply to places not too far with good match rates because the stigma behind DO has always scared me... any help would be amazing!

Please fill out a WAMC; additionally, we need to know all MCAT scores and in the order in which they were received (not just the 503) because schools (generally) consider all MCAT scores together.

With a 503, DO schools should be your major target. Fortunately you have some DO schools near you such as PCOM, VCOM-SC, and Campbell.

Can you better describe your non-clinical volunteering? The lack of detail suggests your activities are a hodgepodge and may not be deeply meaningful.

You posted Need to make a school list/should i retake mcat?

hey! yes i have 50 hours of shadowing an interventional cardiology, 300+ hours as an MA at and allergy clinic, 500+ hours as an optometric tech (currently working here), 200+ volunteering at temple, 2000+ hours of research

I suggest these MD schools with your stats:
Your 3 South Carolina state public schools
Belmont
Alice Walton
Methodist (when it opens)
For DO schools I suggest these:
VCOM (all 4 schools)
CUSOM
PCOM Georgia and South Georgia
WVSOM
ACOM
WCU-CM
LMU-DCOM (all schools)
BCOM (Florida campus)
LECOM-Bradenton
NOVA
OCOM
UP-KYCOM
Your best chances are at DO schools.
