YOU’RE GREAT SINCE THE OTHER DAY IVE BEEN WATCHING AND I AM NOT THE TYPE TO GIVE IN AND UP. I asked if I should consider a DO/PhD or MD/PhD with b/w 2.8-3.2 GPA and high MCAT score and the amount of discouragement I received. When yet professionals told me to focus on my MCAT. I started reconsidering again and then I realized my God is greater than I am and THIS IS MY DREAM AND IT FEELS LIKE THE RIGHT CYCLE AND THATS MORE OF A FEELING from GOD. Just my faith and here I’ve found your video again more directly on my low GPA issue. 🤷🏽‍♂️ LOVE YOUR PAGE MAN. YOU’LL BE A GREAT PHYSICIAN. Only someone who was in my shoes or understands me can better help me.

[@ERdoctorMike]

Hey man, I am happy to help.

[@chriscardenas4180]

Thank you, man. GPA 3.22 trying for 510+ applyng to SMP but also DO and MD. Your videos provide more clarification than most forums online. Keep it up, your helping so many people.

[@ERdoctorMike]

Appreciate it.

[@swaggggyb2560]

How did it go?

[@jeann3860]

A huge thanks to you Michael, I really messed up my GPA at community college. I'm doing better in university but still worrying a lot. Your video is very helpful and informative!

[@ERdoctorMike]

I’m so glad you found it helpful. I offer a mentoring service if you’d like some one on one help.

[@Glodwra]

I’ve been trying to find a KZbin video on this, but no one addresses it whatsoever. If you have a horrible community college GPA, but excelled at University, would medical school only focus on the University institution where you got your bachelors? I’m in the same situation.

[@jeann3860]

@@Glodwra What I heard is some schools will look at the last 40 units, while some others will review the last 20 units. Of course, they also take a look at the whole situation include both community college and university performance. Good luck Steven!

[@Glodwra]

@@jeann3860 Yup, you are right. I talked to the school I want to transfer to (USF) and they look at the last four semesters. If we get As, we will be fine. If you have money to splurge and apply to 40 medical schools, and five of them use that method, that's potentially 5 interviews. There is definitely a path forward. :)

[@jeann3860]

@@Glodwra oh so you live in Northern California, I'm from Southern California :)). Yeah, I'm trying my best not to get any C in my last year of undergrad. My plan is to target on DO schools. God bless us!!

[@amandajankins1715]

Thank you for this! I am in my gap year and scheduled to take my MCAT this month. I have over 3,000 clinical hours, 100+ volunteer hours, various leadership roles in college, and have worked part-time since Freshman year. My GPA dropped to about a 3.56 by the time I graduated due to my significant burn-out with all my activities during college. But, I know for a fact I will have strong LOR's from the roles I have been in. I think the admission requirements for medical schools are of course reasonable but, on the other hand, I feel there are many students out there who are considerably strong candidates but their grades/scores hold them back. I will apply to most of these schools!

[@ERdoctorMike]

Mcat and gpa are everything to medical schools unfortunately. The extracurricular stuff becomes important once you prove to schools that your gpa will make them look good.

[@rozygcf6611]

KYCOM student here! those stats are right on par with my acceptance lol. I had a 3.38 GPA (AACOMAS bumped it up to a 3.43) and a 506 MCAT. During my interview, they were impressed with my MCAT score and the fact that I kept up with my classes at an SMP. Speaking of SMPs, I have a video about it on my channel. Hopefully, once/if I become more consistent with my youtube channel, I would LOVE to collaborate with you one day.

[@ERdoctorMike]

Great job. Keep me in mind

[@Horseprotime]

How was your SMP gpa, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@ERdoctorMike]

Hey thanks! I appreciate it

[@rheniusantonyraj8562]

Guys, just FYI, if you have a lower sGPA, then you probably got a C- or even a D+ in courses. If you have anything below a C in prerequisite courses, you will automatically get rejected from most of these schools. Only a few schools have no minimum such as NYITCOM and ACOM. If you do have a C- or D+ in gen chem or something, make sure to retake it while you are in undergrad. You premed advisor may tell you to tank the C- in gen chem and get As in organic/upper level sciences to make yourself more impressive or to more effectively improve sGPA. DO NOT follow that advice. You are capping yourself from applying broadly because you just cut yourself off from most DO schools. Additionally, your premed advisor is probably a PhD professor who is not an expert. Find an upperclassman who has been where you are if you are struggling getting into med school for advice. Also, it is in your schools best interest stats wise to get you through their program ASAP, not your actual success outside of college. This can play a factor if they tell you to not retake coursework. Finally, if you do have a C- or struggling through prereq scince courses, you need to fix your studying/mental approach to the topics. If you do not, your gonna get a poor MCAT score too. I suggest taking a break while in school and spend that year self studying for the MCAT. Like just focus on the MCAT casually. This low stress mindset will help you fall in love with the MCAT content to do extremely well and prep you perfectly for remaining coursework when you come back to college!

[@losthope98]

I wish my state had more than one medical school

[@ERdoctorMike]

Understandable

[@alternativeremedies9739]

What are your thoughts of the Midwestern University in Arizona? I was thinking of going there since they have a Bridge Program. Please advise?

[@ERdoctorMike]

Honestly I don’t think there is a significant difference in schools. I’d advise to go to the cheapest one you can.

[@myronnicholassenchyshak9726]

If I can make an educational comment……..applicants who have a 3.5-3.6 GPA and 507-509 on your MCAT, look at the lower 1/3 tier of MD schools. Their “numbers” are very similar or lower than DO schools. When I was looking at the allopathic (MD) schools’ average GPA’s and MCAT scores of accepted applicants, I was surprised at the “numbers” of their accepted applicants. Look at states that are poorer and more rural……good chances of getting accepted into Kentucky, Alabama, Puerto Rico, West Virginia, Arkansas, some Florida, Michigan and Ohio allopathic medical schools with “numbers” very similar or a bit lower than DO schools. Check them out for yourselves.

[@lawoftheuniverse8089]

Wow I always thought that to be admitted to Med School you MUST have a sky high GPA of at least 3.8 and even that may not be enough...But I recently heard there is a Medical School in Poland there will accept almost anyone but I dunno if it's true...But this is a very informative Video and thanks for this Michael...!!!

[@ERdoctorMike]

No you don’t need a 3.8. The average gpa is around 3.6 but many people get in with lower than that

[@mustang8206]

As an Oklahoma resident I'm looking into Oklahoma State. The other option is Oklahoma University which is one of the top ranked med schools in the country and accepts like 4%

[@ERdoctorMike]

Honestly no med school is easy to get into. Wishing you all the best of luck!

[@bigoprotege]

That rate is very common for med schools. As a current member of a medical school admissions committee and previous med student OU is not close to being one of the "top" schools in the country. That being said, I tell everyone the best medical school is the one you get into. School rankings are overrated.

[@Nn.65juk]

[@JPE_DRAEB]

I got a direct admit for UIW DO school as long as I keep a 3.5 GPA undergrad and no MCAT required. Should I do this or go to a more prestigious undergraduate school like Baylor (with no direct admit) and take my chances with the MCAT and perhaps keep my options open to MD schools?

[@ERdoctorMike]

I would take that acceptance and run! That’s what I would do.

[@mauwafelekeni8136]

Hello Je P are you from Texas if so which university did you attend? I’m new in Texas I’m thinking about transferring to Sam Houston texas state university. And how did you get admitted what year are you??

[@Ro.Lin13]

How did you go about getting the no MCAT requirement? I have a solid resume in all aspects aside from MCAT

[@JPE_DRAEB]

@@Ro.Lin13 Some schools have a program for entering freshman from high school that if you enter your freshman year and you were approved they have a direct admit program for their four year medical school. You are guaranteed admission as long as you keep a 3.5 GPA or better!

[@RP13433]

Would the newer schools be on the list? Like noorda?

[@ERdoctorMike]

Yes new schools will always be SLIGHTLY easier to get into.

[@courtellini.soupU.x.U]

I don't know what to do; my undergraduate school offers medical programs - but none for DO, and the only actual school of osteopathic medicine I can find for my state is over 3 hours away - which is unrealistic for me right now. In your personal and professional opinion, do you think I should invest in a physician's assistant program and later transfer to a DO school? Or is it best to try to go straight through in one go?

[@ERdoctorMike]

Go straight to medical school. Feel free to come talk to me on Facebook if you want some personalized help

[@hayatnagi5090]

I go to a university in Louisiana which has just built the VCOM medical school. Do you think I should accept my invitation to this medical school even though its first class was about two years ago or should I stay on the safe side and try to get an acceptance at another medical school even though it’s not guaranteed?

Hi thanks for your video !! Is there any disadvantages if i'm a citizen of Canada?

I’m gonna do a video on Canadian friendly schools. Piece of advice would be to apply to private medical schools because they don’t have an obligation to take instate or in country students.

The med school associated with my undergraduate institution is Dell med. Yeah, not happening lol.

[@43nostromo]

Listen to me carefully: do not pay attention to minimums. Pay attention to averages, which rival that of MD schools. DO schools are just as interested in their reputations as they are your money. They look at metrics such as graduation rates, pass rates of COMLEX I, II, III, residency placements in both allopathic and osteopathic programs and so on. Medical schools are more competitive than ever. Don't waste your money thinking that this will be easy. At any school. Unless you are a saint, have committed your entire lives to the practice of medicine. Worked as a volunteer at hospitals, missionary work in third-world countries, worked as an EMT in college when everyone else was getting banged by their girlfriends, then don't even bother. As a DO in practice since 1997, I'm here to tell you...think about PA school. Although, those are competitive as hell, too. Um...maybe just live in your parents' basement until they die? That makes the most business sense. Have I been drinking? Maybe just a little.
