@Goro Just got my MCAT scores in. Any idea on what shot I'd have with that school list?

 

[Goro]

Woohoo! Thanks!

I agree with Faha and also suggest FAU, FIU, FSU, UCF

Update: II from ARCOM and WVSOM. I ended up applying to every DO schools except the ones that accept very few Florida applicants and ones I did not meet the cutoffs for. Also my signature is a little different than my posted stats as I don't want every post of mine containing identifying info.

Update for anyone in my shoes with GPA problems: ACCEPTED TO ARCOM!
Can't stress the advice from @Goro enough, work on stringing together a couple of 3.8+ semesters and many DO schools will look past a weak GPA.
