Hey guys,
First a little background:
Graduated 2.5 years ago with a BS in Bio, a minor in chemistry, math, and physics.
Science gpa:3.9
Cgpa: 3.9
MCAT: 504 (previous: 24 back in 2013)
No hypothesis based research experience but I do work for an R&D company as a scientist/chemist developing drug products.
I have Been working as a tutor for 3 years now, and have A few hundred volunteering and shadowing hours.
I also worked full time as a hospital phlebotomist and as a lab assistant for 1.5 years.
I applied to 12 schools.
5 DO's and 7 MD's
So far
I received a total of 9 interviews: 4DO's and 5MD's and 4 acceptances: 2 DO's and 2 MD's
As far as preferences go, One of the DO school is my top choice: RowanSOM, then comes Morehouse and Meharry and the last DO school resepectively. However, I was offered a pretty decent scholarship to one of the aforementioned MD schools which basically bumped it to the same level as Rowan on my list.
Essentially I need some advice deciding which school I should pick. Although I really like Osteopathic medicine and Rowan, if I picked Meharry with the scholarship, I'd hAve to take at the very most half of what I'd have to pay if I were to pick Rowan.
(Some additional info: I also interviewed at UNC and I am an NC resident but I have yet to hear from them)
Thanks in advance
