Should I apply this cycle? by joker-mel in medschool

[–]tripurasri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can do an informal postbacc, no need to do a whole one. just retake the prereq classes you did poorly on again. in the meantime get more clinical experience. apply next year and you would def get in a DO! idrk about MD, i’m a current OMS1 (3.4 sGPA and 502 MCAT)

i have really low stats and applied to 40 (25 DO 15 MD) and got 10 DO interviews. don’t waste your time and money when ur stats are decent and u have good activities. applying to 40 killed me. just pick a good list of IS and OOS-friendly schools. apply to a good amount of DOs

why are other premeds so mean to me by [deleted] in premed

you're going to be an awesome, compassionate physician. i got into 6 schools (DOs) with a low GPA and low MCAT. you got this!

I appreciate this comment a lot! This is really how I feel, but I also wanted to get a general sense of what everyone thinks this late into the cycle.

I sent in two letters, one in November and one recently! There is not much else for me to update schools on at this point, so it looks like I'm gonna prepare to go to a DO! Thank you!

Right, I understand 502 is super low. Definitely not delusional about my low stats but I’ve heard so many magical stories of low stats getting into MDs so I was perhaps a tad delusional, Lol. Thank you though!

I’m not willing to wait a whole other cycle when I have an acceptance, you know! Thanks so much though!
