congrats again to those who got accepted and for those with interviews
seems like the cutoff for the gpa req is 3.0ish
mine came out to be a 2.67 and will be a 2.81 by the end of this semester so at this point I'm expecting no invites
anyone have any suggestions for me for next time? i am thinking of taking extension classes at ucla-i spoke with the admin committee at UoP and UCLA-both said they prefer extension on site courses over online courses-so:
#1 I'm thinking of just doin a 'post bacc' on my own
(consistent mostly of UCLA extension classes (on campus/night courses) and a few open uni classes if i can get it
#2 other choice is to work for a year full-time at my current hospital job. but I've been working since 16 so not too crazy at that thought-but at least i can pay back some loans
im 23 and the average age for first years is 25-i REALLY want to keep on going but it will take me 30 units min to bring my gpa to a 3.0
i have received all As and Bs in upper bio courses like genetics, molecular bio and neuro (but D in calc and C- in first semesters of ochem/physics killed me)
i am NOT one to give up and am all for summer school and another year of classes to get me closer. but my previous thread in the pre-dental forum kind of disheartened me so at this point I'm almost aiming for option #2 and re-eval myself after a year....
advice??
