Hey Guys
I'm a long time lurker who just decided to make an account. Got outta undergrad last year with a horrendous GPA (2.5 cumulative, 2.3 science). Tons of EC's, good leadership but horrible grades. Started at a college near my house (not CC). Last semester re-took a few classes, got a 3.73 with mainly A's. This semester I'm anticipating a (hopefully) similar GPA, hopefully even above a 3.8.
I don't think I'm competitive at all. Even with the grade replacement, schools will look at my UG GPA and I wouldn't be surprised if they threw away my app after that. I've had advisor after advisor after advisor tell me how I have no shot at anything. Even with a stellar MCAT, I feel hopeless. I know what I did, and I know how I overcame it and I think I can articulate it very well but I don't think I will even receive an interview invite to get a chance to discuss it.
Anyone in a similar situation or have been in the same situation? Any help/suggestions? I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys
