<p>first of all, let’s juts point out for the record that your brother is NOT a NYCOM student. You are SouthParkMD, this is your 10th screen name, and I really hope the mods ban you for multiple user names violating the TOS. </p>
<p>Similarly, no offense, but with your 2.6 GPA, you have no chance at getting into a US DO school without some substantial years of post-bacc work. Perhaps all these posts are your way of justifying to yourself your inevitable one way ticket to the Caribbean. Oh well, at least you can have that MD, even if it does lead to a career in construction…</p>
<p>Sure my gpa isn’t very high right now, and may not be competitive for DO schools but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.</p>
<p>I dont have any other username, and as for my one way ticket theory, we will see about it when I am ready to apply.</p>
<p>You guys dont know anything do you? I mean you just have it drilled into your thick skulls that having a gpa of less than 3.8 means that you can’t be a doctor. That having a gpa below a 3.0 means that you have to flip burgers instead of doing medicine. God it was my bad coming here for help.</p>
<p>Ban me if you want I don’t care. I’m done with this forum and all of it’s naive narrow minded people. But just know that some of the greatest people in the world have had very bad academic records. I’m not saying I’m a genius but I too will be great. GPA and success aren’t linearly correlated as most of you think it is.</p>
<p>Whatever telling you this is like talking to a wall anyway. Good riddance</p>
<p>^ It’s about time.</p>
<p>DO schools do not exist to make people feel better about themselves. They exist to fill a need for doctors in our country. Kinda the same reason that MD schools exist. It’s as simple as that. </p>
<p>I find it ironic to see you slamming DO schools all the time since these schools should be your target given the state of your current academic record. You’re not likely to get into a US allopathic med school and your chances of becoming a doctor in the US is far better going the DO route than the Caribbean route.</p>
<p>I graduated from a DO program. My stats were undergrad 3.5, grad 3.89 mcat 31. Trilingual, former professional athlete. I was an atypical applicant so to speak. If you are a solid student with a holistic philosophy, that will get you looked at more favorably at DO programs. I can tell you that more atypical applicants apply go DO route than MD route.</p>
