Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here and I really need advice as to how to proceed. I’m in a tough position as far as applying to med school goes.
I’ve accumulated a total of 230 credits and at this point my GPA won’t be changing much. At a 2.92 gpa overall, I’m afraid I’ll get auto-screened out. Overall science gpa is 2.69.
BACKGROUND:
I’m an American who studied college overseas for a year. I took 36 credit hours in 1 yr (2 full semesters). This course load is typical where I was. I finished with 2.44 freshman gpa.
The problem is, all of those hours were transferred to my US university. This put me at a 2.89 gpa upon graduation but without the transfer hours, I graduated with a 3.02 overall (still not great, but not a 2.x).
I then went for a second science degree in 2015 (3.4 gpa). I’m planning on taking more science classes.
Can I still succeed at getting in? I don’t want to give up, just yet. Should I continue a DIY post bacc or start considering SMPs?
Thank you. Any advice would be appreciated
