Hello, fellow SD'ers. So, I'm currently an undergrad/masters student whos applying MD/ Ph.D. this coming cycle and I was wondering if I could get some help/opinions. So I go to a relatively average school nothing with real name recognition. While doing my undergrad I kinda goofed and ended up with a low GPA. I've got no legitimate excuse. I've got a strong upward trend and I figure I could get it to 3.4 gpa, and 3.43 sgpa by application time, which I know is horrendously low for MD/Ph.D. I'm doing my masters concurrent to my undergrad and will be over 50% done by the time of application. My masters GPA, however, is a 4.0 and should stay there. So do you think along with the background information provided (below) my masters GPA will provide significant enough cushioning so I don't just get filtered out? Thank for the help.

about 30 hours of shadowing, but I can get that up.
