How should I structure MCAT content review + practice questions?

I'm starting MCAT content review using Professor Eman's videos and the associated Anki cards for each chapter.

I'm confused about how to split up subjects. Should I finish one subject at a time or rotate between bio, biochem, gen chem, orgo, physics, and psych/soc throughout the week?

Also, what platform/resources should I use for practice questions during content review, and when should I start them? Should I do questions immediately after each chapter?

I already know I should start doing CARS passages every day.

I'd appreciate examples of your daily/weekly content review schedule and how you made sure you didn't forget older material.

I’m considering dentistry and my cumulative GPA is around 3.36 with approximately a 3.11 science GPA when all attempts are included. I retook classes and got all A’s but I know that it may not count towards the gpa.

Do I realistically have a chance at dental school with these stats? Has anyone gotten accepted with a similar GPA?

Also, what DAT score should I aim for to be competitive with my GPA?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who had similar stats and how their application cycle went.

I'm considering optometry and wanted to hear from current students and practicing ODs. Is optometry worth it overall? Would you choose it again?

How is the salary, work-life balance, job market, debt, and overall career satisfaction?

My other concern is that I don't like math or physics, especially optics. How math/physics-heavy is optometry school, and how much do you actually use it once you're practicing? Is it something you mostly just have to get through in school? For anyone who didn’t like physics/math before optometry school, did you end up being okay?

Struggling to decide. What would you do?

3.36 cGPA / \~3.11 sGPA, struggling to decide between DO, dentistry, and optometry. What would you do?

I'm trying to figure out what healthcare career makes the most sense for me, and I'm honestly pretty lost right now.

My cumulative GPA is around 3.36 and my science GPA is around 3.11 when accounting for all of my coursework/repeats. I know these aren't particularly competitive numbers, especially for medical or dental school.

I'm currently considering:

DO: I'm interested in medicine and like the variety of specialties available, but I'm worried my science GPA is too low. I would need to take the MCAT and I know about the length of residency/training.

Dentistry (DDS/DMD): I like that I could potentially practice after four years without a required residency. I'm considering taking the DAT, but I'm worried my GPA would also make dental admissions difficult.

Optometry (OD): This seems like the safest option for my GPA, and I like healthcare and working with patients, but I'm not particularly interested in the optics/physics side of optometry.

My biggest issue right now is that I need to start seriously preparing for an admissions exam, and I don't want to spend months studying for the MCAT, DAT, or OAT only to realize I should have pursued another path.

If you were in my position with a 3.36 cGPA/\~3.11 sGPA, which path would you realistically pursue?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who applied to DO, dental, or optometry schools with similar GPAs. What admissions test score did you have, and how did your cycle turn out? If you did not then what would you do?

TL;DR: Need help making a career choice, optometry, dental, D.O or something else?
