Hey guys...
I'm an ex-pre-dent looking at the possibility of medical school. My undergrad overall GPA is ~2.7 and BCP GPA ~2.3. I recently completed a masters degree in biology with a GPA of 3.54. I've heard this but wanted to get a confirmation: do MD schools look at ALL of your academic history (cum.GPA) and DO schools look at only the higher grades from retakes (adjusted GPA)? If this is the case, then should I even apply to MD schools? My adjusted GPA is ~3.0 which doesn't look as bad. I've heard that DO schools cater more to low-stat nontrads, so just wanted to get some other opinions from people here that may know.
Thanks
