Hello, OP. I'm a Cornell grad, and I know exactly where you're coming from. My MCAT score was fairly decent (506), but my GPA is 3.05, and my advisor told me to give up the allopathic dream and just go DO.
While DO is perfectly respectable, I don't want to give up the allopathic dream. I'm taking two gap years and plan on reapplying for the next cycle if/when I don't get in on my first try (I believe in miracles).
My advice to you is try to take a gap year if you can and bring up your MCAT score (official practice exams, Khan Academy, and Kaplan) and to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst (reapplying). Good luck.
