Hello,
I am sure everyone has seen this title but I could not find any one that matched my circumstances.
I am a junior, female
Overall GPA: 3.2
Science GPA: 2.79
Major: Biochemistry
Minor: Psychology
My GPA is unfortunately in a downward tread, most of my bad grades were in organic chemistry and physics.
I got two C's and three C+'s . I have been really trying to evaluate what I have been doing wrong since my freshman year and one thing I found was that I started working my sophomore year ( work award) and have been growing in work hours since then in addition to extracurricular activities. I actually work three jobs:
I am a CNA at a retirement center,
I am a chemistry tutor ( my professor always said the best way to master something was to try to teach it) and
I am a work with a man with cerebral palsy
I know I should probably cut back on my working but after my one year scholarships were gone after my freshman year, I have been self sufficient as far as funds. My parents never went to college and don't help me at all with my college expenses.
I am need of advice. Medical school is my destination. I do not see a more rewarding career than becoming a physician. How should I proceed with this GPA ? I am already considering working less since I can only assume working is what is causing this downward trend. How can I explain that in my application if work is the reason ?
