GPA: 3.7
Sciences: 3.6

Four semesters of cancer lab research, completion of a competitive shadowing program (160 hours shadowing docs in 20 different specialties) and a small mountain of extra curricular and community volunteer activities.

My chances with the big 4?

Why don't you take the MCAT again, if you can get that up significantly (~28) you should be able to get into a DO school in the states. Do you really want to move with your baby to the Caribbean?

I was accepted to Ross's Merp program, and SGU's Foundations program. (both are a semester long premedical boot camp basically) My stats were cgpa 3.4, sgpa 3.1, and 20 MCAT. While I was accepted, I can honestly say I haven't seen anyone accepted to SGU with less than a 24 (aside from me 🙂 ), and very few at Ross with under a 22. So it is doable, but with your GPAs I would highly recommend retaking the MCAT and applying to US MD and DO schools.

GPAs are decent. Retake the mcat and aim for 24+, then go DO.
