I hate to do this to you guys....but I gotta ask this, ive searched but found now relative info..
im taking the MCAT this april..have been studying since late Jan. (Kaplan course).
My recent GPA has been great..but after combining my GPA with my city college (over 5 years ago) it has went WAY down..im talking floating around the bottom of 3 point gpa.
is there a way i can just report on my Amcas app. gpa calculation to reflect that my GPA from the university is MUCH higher than my 2.44 from city college? that City college grade point is dragging me down hard core.
Assuming i do fairly well on the MCAT (30+)...have you guys seen or heard of someone getting accepted who has a terrible cumulative GPA but has a VERY strong trend after finally realizing what i wanted to do with my life?
a few interesting notes about me that might help: worked as a Medical Asst. for a year. competitive national athlete, ranked #2 in my state of california, professinoal fitness model, being featured on websites, and several issues of magazines, personal trainer. shadowed a doctor friend of mine for a few months. Great LOR's from physicians who know me well.
