So I just got my new MCAT score and wanted to know where I should be applying this cycle? I am in a 1 year SMP at a DO school with a decent chance of matriculating here afterwords. I applied last year and got 0 DO II, and 1 MD II. My GPA is defintely holding me back but I am hoping to improve that with this SMP. I have decent LOR, good shaodwing experience, good volunteer experience, no research experience, and my dad is a DO. I have a few schools already in mind, but was interested if there are schools notorious for weighing the MCAT a little more than GPA. Thanks!
Old MCAT = 498 (126, 125, 125, 122)
New MCAT = 508 (126, 129, 127, 126)
Undergrad sGPA = 3.0
Undergrad cGPA = 3.2
 
Iowa, my applications have been verified and I have already submitted to a few schools.
 
You are competitive for the majority of DO schools because of your MCAT score so apply to at least 15 and you should receive several interviews. Iowa is your best chance for a MD interview. For DO include most of the newer schools such as:
ARCOM
ACOM
BCOM
WCU-COM
LMU-DCOM
UP-KYCOM
WVSOM
NYIT-Arkansas
RVU-Utah
UIWSOM
VCOM (all 3 schools)
 
I kind of figured that. My only issue is my sGPA is actually a 2.98 so some schools with a sGPA requirement of 3.0 might autoscreen me. Thanks for the help!
