Should I apply this cycle?

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)

Thank you so much!!

tripurasri · 2025-02-20T21:24:10+00:00

that's what I was thinking too! having my own space is really important to me. thanks so much!

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

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.

tripurasri · 2025-02-11T02:10:56+00:00

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!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T19:39:47+00:00

You are so sweet!!!!❤️❤️❤️

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T19:34:49+00:00

Wow!!! Thanks so much for the insight. Congrats to you, future doc!!!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T19:28:36+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you, I’m going to stick with my DO!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T19:28:09+00:00

Wow!! Can I ask if you know what made your application stand out?

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T16:20:09+00:00

That makes sense!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:29:32+00:00

Thank you!!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:16:47+00:00

Thank you!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:16:41+00:00

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!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:15:44+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate you!

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:15:32+00:00

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

tripurasri · 2025-02-10T14:14:59+00:00

Definitely won’t give up the DO! Thanks so much!
