Hi there,
Trying to decide if I should pursue a Post-Bacc route or a MSBS program. I have a degree in bio from a top undergrad institution, a lot of research experience, but a pretty low GPA. I've taken all my pre-med classes, so I need to decide which route will help me gain admission to MD or more likely DO schools.
GenChem I+Lab: C+
OChem 1/1Lab/2/2Lab: C+/A-/C-/C-
Biochem I: B-
Physics I+Lab/II+Lab: C-/B-
Calc I/II: A/C
Biology I+Lab/II/IIL: C-/B-/B
AMCAS GPA: 2.818
BCPM GPA: 2.64
All Other GPA: 3.29
GRE: all sections above 80%
MCAT: not yet taken
In my eyes, master programs are more valuable (real degree, more interesting and medically relevant coursework). However, I don't know how the GPA from a masters program would factor into admission.
