What are my chances?

Hello, what are my chances, and any advice from students at OCPM. Do you like it there? And is there room and board there?

So about me: cGPA- 3.2; sGPA- 3.1. I have not yet taken the MCAT, but assuming I do average. I've never been a "good" test taker, as I seem to take my time, but I always seem to do about average, or a bit above (standardized testing that is).

I am really looking at OCPM in specific, just because it's closest to me, but do they have room and board? Because it doesn't really appear to.

I see the averages on the websites and all that... But that doesn't really tell me as much as people with personal experiences!

Thanks everyone

OCPM is my number one choice for this cycle.

From my understanding, they do not offer housing, however they can assist you in finding and securing housing off campus. I BELIEVE you have to pay for a meal card/plan, however.

Study well for the MCAT; their cut-off is a 21.

EDIT: My dentist's nephew went there, loved it, and got into a good residency program in AZ.

There is no on-campus housing but housing in the area is really cheap. I'm in a 1350 sq ft apartment in Parma Heights for $850/month. You can get a really cheap place that's really nice if you are single too. I had kids to worry about though.

Good luck. I was really impressed with OCPM overall.
