Hey everyone,
I just graduated college this fall (stayed an extra semester) and am looking for advice on if I should apply to medical school this upcoming cycle. I feel as though my ECs are strong but my gpa is lacking and I haven't taken the MCAT yet (taking it April 24th) so I'm not entirely confident in my application. I am confident in my ability to succeed going forward however. In my last semester I got a 3.91 GPA while maintaining volunteering, interning, and working part-time. Here are some of my stats below.
GPA:
sGPA 2.87
cGPA: 3.15
ECs:
2 years volunteering as an EMT
120 hours interning in an operating room
1 summer working as an EMT
1 summer shadowing a nephrologist
1 year serving as VP of communications for the inter-fraternity council
1 year as philanthropy chair for my fraternity
Currently I am working as an EMT, taking classes at a local 4-year college to raise my GPA, and studying for the MCAT. If I am able to do well in these classes (they are all science classes) and raise my GPA to a 3.20/3.05, what are my chances for getting into a DO school. Thank you!
