There's a LizzyM <70 thread and a MCAT <30 thread, but so far there's been no threads about people with low GPAs!

If either your sGPA or cGPA is <3.5, you may post here :)

So far

II: State School
Rejection: UPittsburg
Hold: GW

To not exclude a single underdog group, might also want to make this one:

"Official 2015-2016 genuinely unintelligent but my parents won't let this doctor thing go thread"

Pardon me while I take cover from the shots being fired.

You, sir, went straight for the jugular on that one. Not that I expected any different

Was it that bad? Didn't mean to imply that the OP would fit into that category, just that there might be a few people under-represented in these threads ;)
 
3.2-3.3 cGPA
4 MD interviews.
1 hold, 2 rejections.

I have a high SMP GPA though, idk if that counts -_-

In. 3.4/3.4. Standing at 9 MD II now. There's hope for us low GPAers!

3.5/3.3 extremely traditional applicant.

21 applications, 4 IIs, 4 rejections, 1 hold. Haven't gotten an II since September 3rd, though. -_-

When were you complete and when did your II's and rejections come in?
I was complete everywhere by 7/20. Got my first II the second week of July and my last II on 9/3. My first rejection was at the end of July (from OUWB) and my most recent was ~2 weeks ago (from Case).

Wow, 4 MD interviews! That's awesome, congrats. My GPA is similar to yours. Do you have very high MCAT? How high is your SMP GPA? I also completed a SMP but I don't have a 4.0 on that. Just wondering, if you don't mind sharing, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
3.0 sGPA, 3.2 cGPA; 4.0 in grad school (non-SMP)
2 IIs from state schools (go Texas!)
 
3.2 cGPA --> only applied to two schools: II at one; under review at the other.
 
My graduate GPA is 3.4, despite a competitive undergraduate GPA. 1 II and 0 rejections thus far.
 
3.43 cGPA, 3.05 sGPA (3.94 post-bacc GPA)
34 MCAT (11/11/12)

23 MD applications, 9 MD IIs, 4 rejections
