3.0 sGPA

[Ssha]

Hi everyone
So my friend has a 3.3 GPA and 3.0 sGPA, a 498 MCAT (will be taking again in few months idk when).
She has no research experience, lots of shadowing and volunteer work.
She just graduated and is stuck on what she should be doing next.

I don't know what to tell her. Any advice?

Post-bac and retake MCAT. Why are you asking this question and not your supposed friend?

Take the MCAT again and break at least 500 and you(your friend) will have a shot at newer DO schools or heavily mission oriented ( if you(your friend) fit the mission...)

I think instead of a post-bacc it would be better if she retook the mcat.

When is she planning to retake the MCAT? What are her current practice scores?

In july and she said she's getting 506s

If she scores over 500 then she could apply to all the schools I listed. Post the score here in August when available. She should have her application ready to submit in August when her score is available.

Hi Faha - can I ask where you got your information from? Is it from MSAR or the individual schools?

It is from the individual schools and other sites. There is no MSAR for DO schools.
