you seem like a pretty good DO applicant with your GPA and prospective MCAT. For MD study your butt off and try to get above a 30 and apply to lower to mid tier schools (drexel, your state school etc). If you can rock it and get a 33+ you would have a better shot at higher level MD schools. Any way you can get research experience?

Sorry. Research is currently underway at the hospital I work at looking at post surgical patient outcome and blood clots. 27 is just a lower number (hopefully worst case).

27 with your other stuff will make your a pretty good fit for a DO program, I know LECOM accepts people with similar stats! Make sure to shadow a DO so you can get yourself a good DO letter!But really, if you can get above a 30 you can probs go the MD route if that is what you are looking for! Keep your hopes up!
