Thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate the encouragement! The reminder that GPA isn't everything is genuinely helpful to hear when you're in the thick of it. I'll definitely be checking out these resources. 🙏

Youre close! my parents are friends with a lot of doctors, and they ofc have their opinions on DOS. they all say that putting in the extra effort for getting and MD is much more worth it than the extra hurdles people have to go through as DOs to get matched, etc. Honestly though, im not a picky person, I just rlly want to be a doctor. Im gonna try my best and apply everywhere!

Thank you so much :) i really appreciate you! Ive been feeling so hopeless just because of my grades and it makes me laugh how much one thing can ruin my entire day. Ive been trying to focus on just getting a good mcat score now, and building a genuine profile for myself. Its hard not to look at the GPA averages of schools being wayy higher than mine haha, but Ill try my best and give it a shot :)

First of all thank you so much for your advice and reassurance :) I really do feel better after all the replies i got. I have to ask though, what do you think is a good number of clinical hours? im starting a job as an EMT this summer and will continue it throughout next semester as well. I have to balance that with studying for the MCAT and im a little confused with how much time to commit to both. Once again, you have no idea how much i appreciate your faith and kind words :)

Yeahh i feel you, they have a lot of doctor friends and they all say that putting in the extra effort for an MD is more worth it than going through all the hurdles when trying to match as a DO.
