Major questions
- Are my MD applications dead on arrival? What about for next cycle after my sGPA passes 3.0?
- Any reason not to apply this cycle?
- I have a lack of clinical volunteering. Is this something I need to try to start immediately, or is it too late to be relevant?
- Am I competitive for DO, or lucky to get in?
- When looking at out of state schools what are some good things to consider?
