3.34 Cgpa
3.3 Sgpa
Mcat: 504
URM

Extracurriculars: Summer Camp Volunteer for disabled children 3 years, Mentor and Research Tech.I haven't taken Organic 2, but made an A in Organic 1. I have had to take some classes multiple times due to a lot of familial issues, but have made an upward trend my past two semesters. Any chance at DO this upcoming cycle.

If those are your only ECs they are really weak to be applying in a couple of months. Do you have any clinical experience? How about shadowing-especially a DO? What URM Community do you represent? Do you have an established history of commitment to your community?

I'm from the AA community. I have shadowed a Pathologist, Anesthesiologist, Surgery Resident and a Family Practitioner for a total of 150 hours. My job in Cardiac Rehab was my only clinical experience and I was only calculating BMI and skin folds. Indeed I do have a track record of serving my community as I did tutor when I was at the CC level and briefly at my Uni. Elaborate on what makes my EC's week.

You didn't list any of that in your first post. From what you originally posted your ECs are weak. But with what you posted in your response to me you will probably be just fine.
