cGPA; 3.1 sGPA: 3.8 MCAT: taking at the end of April, still a month away, but 506 (125/126/126/129) on my last practice test and hoping to get closer to 510
Non- traditional
undergrad at a small private university in IL
I took all my pre-reqs via a DIY-postbac at a local community college and maintained a 4.0 GPA. I also retook some classes I didn't do well in during UG hoping for grade replacement, but obviously that has changed.
white male IL resident
Clinical Experience:
~2500 hours as a medical assistant (non-cert, trained by the office) at a medical group that does mostly home health care. The office had Podiatrists and MDs. I worked with both.
~200 hours of OR observation with a podiatrist at the medical group I worked for
~50 hours volunteering at a hospital
No research unfortunately
Shadowing:
~ 50 hours with a DO in primary care
Other volunteering:
~25 hours at Feed My Starving Children
~25 hours coaching for The First Tee Program
Other EC:
4 year D-2 athlete (on scholarship) Captain my Sr. year
member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee at my undergrad
I know my cGPA is low and I don't have an official MCAT score yet, but I wanted to know what my chances are for DO schools for the upcoming application cycle (entering 2018). Also which schools would I have a chance.
