Hey guys, I am currently finishing up a BS in Genetics from a UC, and was wondering if I should try to apply this round or not. I have about a 2.75 right now, with an upward trend, and am currently retaking three classes: organic chemistry I and two prerequisite biology classes, all of which I received C's in, hoping to increase my GPA with grade replacement. I took the MCAT last September and got a 31Q (11/9/11) I have 200 hours of volunteering/internship experience in the Emergency Room, and am about to start shadowing a DO, hoping to get a letter of recommendation. I plan to retake at least three more classes before the application period begins in June during this upcoming quarter. Do you think it would be wise to try and apply if I were able to get my GPA above a 3.0? Or should I try to apply to post-baccleaureate programs and try for it in the 2012 cycle?
