Hi everyone. I'm a reapplicant who had 3 MD interviews last cycle, currently waitlisted at 2, outright rejected from 1. My GPA went down my senior year due to a C in biochemistry. I shouldn't have taken biochemistry in the midst of the application cycle, seeing as I was not able to give it my all. The C is worrying the hell out of me, as is a relative lack of development my senior year of college. This year I'll be volunteering at a local hospital and working as a research assistant for a gastroenterologist. I'm also thinking of retaking biochemistry at a local college, something I haven't been able to get a clear answer as to whether it is a good or bad idea.
I guess I'm wondering, if I wasn't able to get in last cycle with a somewhat higher GPA, am I dead in the water this cycle? I was told a lack of clinical exposure raised some concerns with admissions committees.
