State of residence?

Good chances if you're applying DO and write your essays well, etc. MD would be tougher but there's a chance. Your MCAT isn't too bad, your sGPA is the most concerning part. As you aren't a science major you probably haven't taken all that many science courses and could possibly bring up that fairly easily if you wanted to make your application a bit stronger. Good luck!

U of I and it’s various branches are your best and kinda slim hope for MD.
If I were you I would stick with the financial sector you enjoyed.

OP: I think you double-posted

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Why medicine? Break down all your clinical and shadowing hours by specialty and responsibility. What is your BCPM and how many hours of biomedical science coursework (beyond your prerequisites) have you taken? What is your relationship with your prehealth advisor?

This is a duplicate post.

If any mod comes across this look at OP's thread history, he's posted the same thing 3 times.

What about DO schools?

In short, medicine because my aunt died of medical malpractice at a fairly young age with 2 kids. I haven’t taken any upper level science courses because of the fact that I am an Economics major, so it makes it hard to balance the rigor of those classes with trying to take upper level science courses.
