What my chances are of getting into any DO school don’t care which one just want to get into a school.
MCAT was 502 128/121/128/125, was a little shocked about the psych cause I was averaging about 127-128 in that section. I suck ass at CARS so not surprised at the score but It still hurts.
GPA is 3.75 with a strong upward trend.
Sophomore year 3.7
junior 3.8
Senior year 4.0
Only reason its a little lower is b/c I got a 2.75 my first semester.

Chance? 502 mcat 3.7 GPA

I obtained too many withdrawals and mediocre grades during my freshman and sophomore years due to a poorly controlled chronic illness. I found something that worked for me around March-April of my sophomore year, which was Spring 2019. Since getting healthy, I have been getting straight A's. This started in summer 2019 and continued in fall 2019.
In March 2020, I got 5 more withdrawals (a semester's worth), but this time not related to the illness that caused the other withdrawals. Myself...

Hi all,
Currently 2.5 years in as an Orthopedic surgery PA with an interested in going back to med school. Being 27 currently, I didn't know whether I could prepare for the MCAT or not on top of my current job. I was initially set on DO since I figured I would never break 500 on my MCAT, but now I'm not sure whether to apply to MD and DO.
Any insight chances or on specific schools would be appreciated.

I recently got my MCAT score and was initially happy with the score until I went through MSAR and freaked out, especially because my GPA is nothing special.
I wanted to see what my chances are and determine if there is anything I can do before applying the 2021-2022 cycle to improve my chances.

Hey I'm a junior this year and planning on taking the mcat in springtime, with a start of studying this winter break. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.98 for 5 semesters total. I was wondering if the ec's I currently have would be good enough to warrant an application to medical school for this upcoming cycle. On top of the ones I am writing below I just obtained a full time clinical volunteering opportunity for winter break and beyond and planning on working 200 hours for that experience...
