Hey guys, I recently graduated from graduate school. My undergraduate GPA was 3.43, leaving my science GPA in the 2.9 range. I had two undergraduate majors in physics and math and graduated with an MS in Biochemistry. I was going to apply last year but between my GPA and MCAT score (491), I stopped applying and I decided to go to graduate school instead. My grad GPA is a 3.9 and science GPA is a 3.88. I am planning on taking the MCAT this July, is that too late for this cycle? A few questions because I am getting very conflicting advice. Do I have a chance at US medical schools for this current 2018 cycles if I do well on the MCAT? I am being told to cut my losses and try for a Caribbean school and I might have a chance at a DO, but with all the work I put in, I really want to go to an MD school in the US. I have a very extensive amount of shadowing, extracurriculars, sports, greek life, volunteering. I would like to know where I stand based off your previous experiences and if I am actually as doomed as I am being told I am. My undergraduate GPA started low as an undergrad, I struggled my first year and a half, but every semester through to graduation my GPA increased and I did not receive grades lower than As and a few Bs after sophomore year. If you would like more information, please let me know, I am looking for any guidance and advice. I don't need to go to the best medical school in the world, any medicals school in America would be beyond appreciated.
Thank you
Thank you
