Hey guys just want to see what my chances are! I am currently in the middle of my gap year.
cGPA: 3.52
BCMP: 3.32
MCAT: 39 (14,13,12)
ECs:
Extensive shadowing (abroad too) with 400+ hours in 15 different specialties with working as a Scribe for 2 years as well.
EMT for 3 years
Founder and President of 2 clubs at my school which are well established and will flourish after founding members are gone. 3 years for one of them and 2 years for the other.
Research Assistant for 1.5 years but no publications.
PACU volunteer for 1 year 100+ hours
Volunteer abroad in 2 different countries.
RA for 3 years
Numerous other volunteer experiences but not disclosing to keep anonymity (I filled up all 15 slots with meaningful experiences.
My GPA for the first 2 years of college was around a 2.8 and I had to work hard to bring it back up while taking heavier course loads, winter classes and online classes. I have a huge upward trend for the last 2 years. I have amazing LORs and a good personal statement with descriptions for all my ECs. I am also in a special masters program currently and I am satisfied with my grades (top 5% of the class currently).
I applied to numerous schools (about 35 I think). Can an upward trend and an ok cGPA make up for the low science gpa? How much of a red flag will the science gpa be? My grades were low from pre reqs, however, I scored pretty well on MCATs so can that compensate? How would I fare on more selective and upper tier schools? How about more research heavy schools? Any acceptance letter would be a blessing but some insight from others would be nice! Thanks!
