I know i have 2 19s and i know it's not good but anyway..
hoping the 7pts improvement will cover it up a bit...

Shadowed a MD for about 3 month in Korea. Planning on shadowing a DO.

For the letter of recommendation, pre-health committee is putting together a packet with one from med school professor, and 2 from my science prof.
Planning on getting a letter from a DO.

I am mainly looking to apply to DO schools.
It would be great to know what my realistic chances are.

Thank You!!
 
Apply broadly and you'll get in somewhere. Unfortunately, while our AdCom may like you, our Dean will likely wait-list you on your avg MCAT score.
