Ok guys, here’s the deal:
I applied to my state MD school (AR), with excellent reference letters, good shadowing experience, several research projects with two presentations and a published paper (undergrad and grad school combined), was elected to a state board by my peers, then appointed to another by the governor, I’ve worked as a Doctoral level Audiologist in the largest ENT group in the state for 5 years since graduation. But here’s where it starts to fall apart: I have a 4.0 Grad school GPA, but only a 3.2something undergrad (trending downward instead of up), although I recently took Phys 2 since I never had it and made an A. I also only made a 507 on the MCAT.
I obviously wasn’t accepted to my state MD school and am now considering my two state DO schools NYIT-AR and ARCOM.
With those stats (and a lot of other ECs), should I bother applying to the DO schools? Do I have a chance? Or is that awful undergrad performance going to haunt me forever even though I have since proven that I am capable of much better academic performance?
Any advice and input would be much appreciated! (Here’s looking at you @Goro and @Faha!)
