Hello all,
So I have begun my application for a third time, even though I am still waitlisted at a school currently from last cycle. My first application was 2020-2021 and I received 3 interviews, 1 waitlist and 0 acceptances. This past year I had 2 interviews, one of which was super late in the cycle (the school that I am currently waitlisted at). I identified my short comings, 3.46 cGPA, 512 MCAT, only shadowing with 1 type of physician and tried to work on some of that stuff. I've been taking some online courses, added some shadowing, and got a job as a medical assistant. I know I should apply to DO schools as well but have 0 shadowing of a DO physician and obviously no recommendation letter from one. I'm a little confused as to what to do, and on top of it all my pre-medical advisor who I had known for the past 5 years left abruptly.
School list last year (will have a fair number of repeats this year:
Albany
ECU
Rosalind Franklin
Cooper Medical school of Rowan University
Drexel
EVMS
Emory
Quinnipiac
Geisinger
Buffalo
Temple
MUSC
NYMC
Stony Brook
Penn State
Vermont
Rush
Sidney Kimmel
SUNY Upstate and Downstate
Tufts
Tulane
USU
Miami
UNC-Chapel Hill
USC-Columbia
USC-Greenville
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest
To anyone who can offer any advice thank you so much!
