Hello All ,
I am stiil waiting back from a few D.O. schools, but am accepting the fact that I won't be accepted this year. I'm not too bitter as I understand that I don't truly deserve it and there are many other people that at this point deserve it more than me. My stats kind of suck, but they are improving. I have posted on other posts last couple months. cGPA: 3.36, sGPA: 3.14, MCAT taken few times: 21R [pitiful, I know], 25 S [better, but not ideal] and am in the process of preparation to take it again in May hoping to get a 30, but at least a 28. EC's, shadowing a DO, LOR'S all that are strong and are the strengths in my app. I applied late, but had to to make my app look somewhat decent. I am taking a few classes this semester and am doing very well in them and will get A's if I keep it up and my cGPA will go up to a 3.39 and my sci G.P.A. will go to a 3.20. However, I am seriously considering retaking one Gen chem and an o-chem lab to increase my G.P.A.'s more as AACOMAS takes the 2nd grade of a retake as these will be my first retakes. However, I wish to turn in my primary app on June 1st. With my situation, should i still turn in my primary June 1? Can I send an updated transcript to AACOMAS after my summer grades are in; will be in early to mid-August or will that be too late if I send in my primary apps in June? I want to be early this year, but also want the schools to see my retake grades considering i do well in them which may raise my sci gpa to about a 3.3 and my cum GPA right around a 3.5. I just want advice on when to apply and what to do about my situation making sure the schools can see my retake summer grades? I will obviously enter " in progress" for the retakes for the courses when filling out my classes and grades, so the committee will see that I am retaking the courses. Just want advice on how I should approach this.
