Hi all,
I wanted to put my situation out there and get some insight int what you think my chances are?
I ended up finishing my Bachelors in Biological Anthropology with a 2.88CGPA, and a 2.3SGPA (Realistically I only had 3 science classes, so my SGPA at that point wasn't indicative of my capacity as a whole.) Despite my low GPA, I managed to gain acceptance to the top Forensic Science Masters program in the nation. I knew if I wanted to ever consider Med School (I want to be a Medical Examiner) I'd have to do exceedingly well. I did well enough in the first semester to be awarded a Graduate Peer Tutor position, and GTA stipend. I tutored and mentored for two semesters, and ended up graduating with a 3.7GPA. I am currently completing a POST BACC at UNE while simultaneously working 40+hrs a week, and currently hold a 3.5 Post BACC SGPA with one class left -- I am expecting an A-, which would raise me to around a 3.59SGPA. My MCAT score is a 29.
If you've taken the time to read through all of this for me, I'd really appreciate some input on what you think my chances are for both MD and DO.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Karla
