YOU’RE GREAT SINCE THE OTHER DAY IVE BEEN WATCHING AND I AM NOT THE TYPE TO GIVE IN AND UP. I asked if I should consider a DO/PhD or MD/PhD with b/w 2.8-3.2 GPA and high MCAT score and the amount of discouragement I received. When yet professionals told me to focus on my MCAT. I started reconsidering again and then I realized my God is greater than I am and THIS IS MY DREAM AND IT FEELS LIKE THE RIGHT CYCLE AND THATS MORE OF A FEELING from GOD. Just my faith and here I’ve found your video again more directly on my low GPA issue. 🤷🏽♂️ LOVE YOUR PAGE MAN. YOU’LL BE A GREAT PHYSICIAN. Only someone who was in my shoes or understands me can better help me.

Thank you for this! I am in my gap year and scheduled to take my MCAT this month. I have over 3,000 clinical hours, 100+ volunteer hours, various leadership roles in college, and have worked part-time since Freshman year. My GPA dropped to about a 3.56 by the time I graduated due to my significant burn-out with all my activities during college. But, I know for a fact I will have strong LOR's from the roles I have been in. I think the admission requirements for medical schools are of course reasonable but, on the other hand, I feel there are many students out there who are considerably strong candidates but their grades/scores hold them back. I will apply to most of these schools!

KYCOM student here! those stats are right on par with my acceptance lol. I had a 3.38 GPA (AACOMAS bumped it up to a 3.43) and a 506 MCAT. During my interview, they were impressed with my MCAT score and the fact that I kept up with my classes at an SMP. Speaking of SMPs, I have a video about it on my channel. Hopefully, once/if I become more consistent with my youtube channel, I would LOVE to collaborate with you one day.

Guys, just FYI, if you have a lower sGPA, then you probably got a C- or even a D+ in courses. If you have anything below a C in prerequisite courses, you will automatically get rejected from most of these schools. Only a few schools have no minimum such as NYITCOM and ACOM. If you do have a C- or D+ in gen chem or something, make sure to retake it while you are in undergrad. You premed advisor may tell you to tank the C- in gen chem and get As in organic/upper level sciences to make yourself more impressive or to more effectively improve sGPA. DO NOT follow that advice. You are capping yourself from applying broadly because you just cut yourself off from most DO schools. Additionally, your premed advisor is probably a PhD professor who is not an expert. Find an upperclassman who has been where you are if you are struggling getting into med school for advice. Also, it is in your schools best interest stats wise to get you through their program ASAP, not your actual success outside of college. This can play a factor if they tell you to not retake coursework. Finally, if you do have a C- or struggling through prereq scince courses, you need to fix your studying/mental approach to the topics. If you do not, your gonna get a poor MCAT score too. I suggest taking a break while in school and spend that year self studying for the MCAT. Like just focus on the MCAT casually. This low stress mindset will help you fall in love with the MCAT content to do extremely well and prep you perfectly for remaining coursework when you come back to college!

If I can make an educational comment……..applicants who have a 3.5-3.6 GPA and 507-509 on your MCAT, look at the lower 1/3 tier of MD schools. Their “numbers” are very similar or lower than DO schools. When I was looking at the allopathic (MD) schools’ average GPA’s and MCAT scores of accepted applicants, I was surprised at the “numbers” of their accepted applicants. Look at states that are poorer and more rural……good chances of getting accepted into Kentucky, Alabama, Puerto Rico, West Virginia, Arkansas, some Florida, Michigan and Ohio allopathic medical schools with “numbers” very similar or a bit lower than DO schools. Check them out for yourselves.

Listen to me carefully: do not pay attention to minimums. Pay attention to averages, which rival that of MD schools. DO schools are just as interested in their reputations as they are your money. They look at metrics such as graduation rates, pass rates of COMLEX I, II, III, residency placements in both allopathic and osteopathic programs and so on. Medical schools are more competitive than ever. Don't waste your money thinking that this will be easy. At any school. Unless you are a saint, have committed your entire lives to the practice of medicine. Worked as a volunteer at hospitals, missionary work in third-world countries, worked as an EMT in college when everyone else was getting banged by their girlfriends, then don't even bother. As a DO in practice since 1997, I'm here to tell you...think about PA school. Although, those are competitive as hell, too. Um...maybe just live in your parents' basement until they die? That makes the most business sense. Have I been drinking? Maybe just a little.
