Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm hoping to apply to DO programs this upcoming summer, and was hoping someone could take a look at my profile to see what my chances are of getting in.
I applied to some MD programs this past cycle and unfortunately only got one deferral after one interview.
I am currently a year out from college and am working as a scribe and medical assistant. I'm a California resident and went to college in California. I double majored in college including public health, and spent 4.5 years there. I went to a pretty top university. My overall GPA is 3.67, BCPM GPA 3.45, with a major upward trend in my last year and a half in college. My BCPM GPA during my last year and a half is 3.82. While I have a good amount of clinical experience from my current jobs, I also have a lot of extracurriculars. I did a lot of volunteering with seniors and the underserved population, and do have leadership as the President of a club and coordinator of certain services. My MCAT score 510. I have some research experience.
As for LOR, I'm afraid that may be a weak point. One is from an astronomy professor, another an epidemiology professor, another humanities, and lastly from volunteering. I'm currently shadowing a DO and will likely get around 30 hours of shadowing and will be seeking a LOR from the DO.
What should my school list look like and do you think I have a good chance of getting into a DO program this summer? Thanks a bunch!
