<p>I am in my senior year, and I do not have any plans for after I graduate. I'd like to apply to DO medical schools this summer, but I am not competitive. I am Asian and attend a "top 20 university" by USNews. Should I apply this summer or take 2 gap years? Should I work as a medical scribe or focus on improving my GPA?
GPA (with grade replacement): 3.39
Science GPA: 3.2
BCP GPA: 3.2
MCAT: 28 (aiming for a 31/32 on second try)
Major: biology</p>
<p>Well, if you can “grade replace” and increase your GPA to a 3.5, then a DO school will likely accept you. </p>
