Hi everyone, so I was wondering how bleak my chances are looking for osteopathic schools. I would really like to go to LMU-DCOM.
A little background to ECs and shadowing:
-I have worked 20-30 hours per week throughout undergrad
-70 hours shadowing MD; about to begin shadowing a DO
-Volunteered for my local Fire/Rescue organization for my county for ~3 years; received two letters of appreciation from the state for my dedication to protecting my county. I have patient experience with this.
I feel obligated to explain why my GPA is rather low. During my entire freshman year of college my parents were going through a rough divorce process. My dad had physically assaulted my mother and had threatened me. At this time my mom and I did not make enough money to move away from my father. Needless to say, I was very distracted my freshman year due to this fact.
My cGPA and sGPA are both at 3.0. I am currently a Junior and will be applying next summer/fall. I also plan to take the MCAT in March.
