Sorry for multiple questions @hushcom - I'll make this my final one.
In the event an applicant has disproportionately different cumulative/science GPA's, how is this taken into account? Based on my cumulative gpa, I'm simply not competitive. That said, I'm finding it hard to believe several screw ups 12+ years ago in basic classes will cause adcomm's to think I'm not capable of handling medical coursework...though I've been wrong before.
Long story short, I performed horribly in my freshmen/sophmore level classes 12ish years ago. My first 40 or so credits are abysmal. That said, I've done exceedingly well in all of my science classes. My last 135 credits I've maintained a 3.6. I've also got a 3.9 in my post-bacc.
My cumulative is a 3.0. My science is a 3.7, potentially a 3.8 when I'm finished with my post-bacc.
How should I view my competitiveness?
