Hello, I'm an Asian undergraduate student looking to apply to medical school this summer. I have volunteered at the local hospital and have done other volunteering activities. I do science research at my university as well. In my first three semesters at my university, I really wasn't motivated due to some issues I was having but I completely take responsibility for the low grades. After three semesters, I had a 2.9 GPA and had B-'s in two required biology courses and C's in Orgo I and Orgo II. Since then, I have taken more advanced biology courses (Biochem, neurobiology, genetics, etc.) as well as introductory physics courses, and have 3 straight semesters with at least a 3.9 GPA ( I also took some a couple summer courses last summer) and now my GPA is about a 3.45, I'll have another two semesters of grades to send in, but let's just not consider that right now. I took the MCAT and got a 36. I'm open to going to a DO school but I would prefer getting into an MD school. So do I have a decent shot at MD schools even with the awful first three semesters?
Chances at medical school? Upward trending but low GPA(~3.45)
