Hello everyone,
Only applying to a few instate MD schools(UC, Wright State, OSU) and a variety of DO programs (OUCOM, LECOM, MSUCOM, KCUMB, PCOM). Had 1 bad quarter (2.7gpa) because I took Organic, Bio, and physics. 3.7gpa for the last year on my application
EC's:
Working 20+ hours/week (non-clinical)
3 years of Hospice volunteering- 300 hours
2 years of leadership position in student service organization (tons of volunteering)
Primary Care Physician shadowing- 40 hours
Trauma Surgeon shadowing- 20 hours
1 semester of research in evolutionary genetics lab
2 semesters of research in craniofacial plastic surgery lab
Still searching for DO to shadow in the next few weeks
LORs:
2 from science professors (1 is evolutionary genetics lab PI)
1 from Hospice volunteer coordinator
1 from Primary Care Physician/Hospice medical director
1 from PI in craniofacial lab (also sits on admissions committee for one of the MD programs)
Dream school is UC :love: and my letters hold the most weight there ;). Just wondering if MD programs are out of reach and which DO programs are suitable for my stats.
Thank you for any input!
