I have similar undergrad stats. I was wondering what kind of post bacc did you do? Was it just a DIY Post bacc and how many credits did you take?

Thank you and congratulations on the acceptances.

Also which ACOM was it? Was it ACOM_SOMA?!

There's only one ACOM campus. I think you're confusing ATSU with ACOM as there is a ATSU-KCOM & ATSU-SOMA.

With my stats, no post grad program would take me. So I did a DIY for 1 year taking all new upper division science and used that trend to get into a formal program, where I stayed for another two years. In all I did/re-did about 100 units. I needed a formal program bc of financial aid and committee letter of recommendation. I'm 28, so it's been a long grind....but I appreciate the journey. Many people, including some counselors at my post bac, told me that I wouldn't be able to do it and that I should just stick to pharmacy...but I kept my head down worked harder than I ever have and stayed humble.. and now I'm here. If I could, why not you?

That is so great to hear! Wow that's almost like getting another bachelors. That's awesome.. I am in the same position, I am trying one last time to apply to post bacc programs but if not I am debating the masters in health science program while also doing a diy post bacc and retaking prereqs/taking advanced science courses. At first I did get rejected from the Masters programs because of my stats but I appealed the decision and got in! These courses are intensive 7 week courses which I like because I know medical school courses are shorter and more intensive as well

Your overall app seems really strong for DO. Surprised you didn't land acceptances at every DO school to which you applied. Very impressive especially being a D1 athlete and maintaining a 3.6. From what I hear adcoms have a special love for D1 athletes. You probably would have garnered a few MD acceptances IMO if you had applied MD.

It's just not the place for questioning people about MD apps or acceptances. You also show a complete lack of reading the things you reply to in this thread. If you are that curious about their apps/etc, PM them.

Well this thread is veering off course like a drunk driver doing 70 while texting on a back country gravel road. Seriously though, let's get back on track. I enjoy checking in to see how my fellow homies are doing.

Hey Congrats!! we have the same MCAT. my GPA is 3.62. This give me hope.

 

[Deecee2DO]

Hey Congrats!! we have the same MCAT. my GPA is 3.62. This give me hope.

Awesome! I'm rooting for you. Normally a 498 wouldn't fly at the most established DO schools but some schools look past it with an otherwise great application ie a higher than avg GPA at a solid undergrad (which you have) and a lot of clinical experience, leadership, volunteering. Apply broadly to the newer schools and to your state DOs and you should get some love! Also, IMO not sure what your breakdown was but sometimes a 127+ in the B/S MCAT section can sometimes boost a 498, since a higher than avg B/S score is a good predictor of board success.
