sGPA:3.1
cGPA:3.1
MCAT: 17 (Retaking in May)
BS in Cellular and molecular biology
I'm a 32 year old economically challenged white male and am aware that I have a low GPA. The GPA is low due to having to work a full-time job through all years of school while caring for a child as a single father. My GPA was extremely high during my Junior and Senior years while taking advanced coursework (3.8ish).
Obviously my MCAT is too low to be competitive for any program at this moment, but I'm averaging 30 on all practice exams right now so I'm hoping to score at least a 24 at the minimum.
EC's/Volunteer:
I've published 2 manuscripts (writing a 3rd) and 1 web publication on medscape, presented 3 years in a row at national neurology conferences. I have been recently asked to shadow and present my research at Harvard Brigham and Women's Center in April (will get LOR from them). I have worked as a clinical research coordinator (full-time) for a University in Florida for more than 3 years and have great performance reviews. I have daily direct patient care as well as being a certified phlebotomist and ECG technician. I also volunteer in many charity organizations and have done so for the past 8 years. LOR's from many professors and physicians.
Any advice for how to secure DO acceptance please let me know. My preference is Nova, but will to go anywhere if accepted. Thanks.
