Hi all, I posted earlier but I didn't get any responses. I am very new to this world and I have very recently decided to pursue medicine. Please let me know what I should do! should I get another bachelor? apply to US? or to schools that offer DO?
I finished my undergraduate degree with no interest in medicine. I have taken a year off and have become interested in medicine. by the time I apply for medical school I will be three years out of school. I am from ontario and did Bsc in Psychology (honours).
This is the breakdown of my grades:
1 year: 3.3 , 27 credits
2 year: 3.27 , 27 credits
3 year: 3.86, 27 credits
4th year: 3.98 , 30 credits
My cgpa is 3.66 including three summer courses and my two last year is 3.92. Unfortunately I dont think I qualify for western because I haven't taken full year course load in my third year and I also didnt take a lot of 3rd year level courses in my third year because I had to take some of my prerequisite as I changed my major.
I have not written the MCAT yet but I am a very studious and hardworking person and I know I can get a good score.
I have 2-3 years of research experience, work as a private teacher, I have done a lot of community volunteering etc...
Now what are my chances? which schools I should look into? what should I do at this point (other than clinical research and writing my MCAT) ?
Sorry for the long question, I appreciate any response.
