I did some GPA math and discovered one rough semester when something bad happened in my personal life tanked my Grade Point Average more than I thought it did. My cGPA is 3.6-something and my sGPA is 3.50, so I am thinking I will definitely have to dual-apply DO. I have enough earned credits that I won't be able to change my GPA much with more credits.
Anywho, I have definitely heard that research makes people more competitive for more competitive residencies and (down the road) fellowships. I am not sure I'm a person who could handle doing research during the academic year which leaves the summer after M1 and the possibility of a research year between M2 and M3.
What do DO students do for finding a research position considering most DO schools don't have an academic medical center attached? They aren't SOL for taking research years, are they?
