GPA is on the low side. Is that cGPA or sGPA also? If you don't have clinical exposure, through work, volunteering or shadowing, I find it hard to convince ADCOM to accept you.

Great job on the MCAT. I'm not sure if that would be enough for the admissions committee to overlook the lower GPA. Have you considered a SMP or post-bac?

 

[TriagePreMed]

Yes, I completed an SMP with a 3.5 GPA.

Was it at an Osteopathic institution?

Your chances are great. Your MCAT is great. Yes, your GPA is on the low side. However, you have a superb MCAT and a rockin SMP GPA, which I am guessing is filled with stellar grades from upper level science/med school courses. You will get in somewhere. What is your sGPA?

 

[AlgernonMed]

Yes, I completed an SMP with a 3.5 GPA.

Oops, sorry I didn't see that before. Great job. I think you stand a really good chance then!

 

[TriagePreMed]

I think number-wise you'll be okay for some schools, but the clinical EC missing is what will hurt you.

Allopathic.

Curious, if you completed it from an allopathic school, how come you didn't apply for the medical school there?

 

[TriagePreMed]

Thanks for the input. Will try to bolster that area as much as possible.

Do you guys think I have a chance at PCOM?

Depends if you're from the area. Generally they prefer people from the region. I wouldn't put my eggs into one basket though.

Youll get in. Apply early. Like right when the cycle opens in june.

I go to PCOM. I am a first year. Bunch of goons here...honestly dont know how 1/10 of the class got in. Our class has repeats from the previous year and I know a good 15 people who were forced to drop out because they failed Anatomy (1st semester) or CMBM (2nd semester). Currently we are in our 3rd and last semester (systems = cardio, renal, pulm). And I know a few others who are failing.

My close friend got a 24 MCAT and 3.9 GPA and got in.

My stats = 28M, 3.5 GPA. I had similiar EC's. I submitted my AACOMAS in mid Aug and 2ndary in mid october. (late i know)

Your superb MCAT outweighs your average GPA.
