I know my score is low so please be nice - I have studied over a year and still not high enough. don't know if I can do it any more bc the mcat has drained me like no other. I have used every resource (uglobe, Kaplan books, aamc materials, Anki) and studied like every person would have recommended.

How many times have you taken the MCAT? What were those scores?
What is your sGPA?

This is my second - first was 493. my sGPA is around the 3.3-3.4

Your GPAs are fine for DO but your MCAT scores are really low! I really have no idea if they might be acceptable at DO schools! I’ll tag @Faha and @Goro for help!

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you - you brought hope to my application

Don't be down on yourself for your MCAT. You will never be asked your MCAT score ever, after you go to school

I can't sugar coat this, your MCAT is lethal for al but the newest (and least reputable) DO schools. The score put you into a risk zone for failing Boards and/or flunking out of med school.

You need a retake and score > 500. >505, even better
