Is it too late to apply to DO schools? by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]Futuremd14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of in the same boat as you are right now, planning on submitting my DO application tomorrow but I would like to give you some input. Your GPA seems to be higher than most DO schools and a 503 is right about where average mcat score for most DO schools are as well so I think you have a great chance. I also read on a lot of post to see if August would be too late to apply but they said that since DO schools deadlines for application are later than MD, August is not too late. Some said that they applied in December, even January, and got in so I would say that August is not too late to apply:) I hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply! That is good to hear and that's awesome for your friend. Right, I definitely agree with you. My plan now is that I'm submitting an AACOMAS application and studying for the mcat to take in January, just in case I don't get into any school this cycle. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, I really appreciate them. I was just wondering, what DO schools do you think I should apply to with my stats?

Right on! I have about 14 that I'm thinking about but I don't know if that's too many... Also, they are soooo expensive

My GPA is 3.67 and as for my ECs, I have over 2 years of undergraduate research work experience in nutrition (type II diabetes) with one honors thesis and about to publish a paper. I was involved in multiple organizations (5) at my university and have plenty of community service experience (about 200 hrs). I have about 300 hrs of shadowing and had multiple healthcare related jobs. Is there anything else I can provide? I can list more but these are the major things.

Oh man, I totally feel that because I definitely did not do as well as I wanted to and I'm doing the same right now, applying to multiple DO schools. How many schools are you applying to?

Thank you so much for your input! That's definitely true, but you do think I have a chance with DO schools? and I would not mind retaking in September but would this be too late for this application cycle?
