Nothing that I can do anything about. I had to do gpa repair from classes 10+ years ago - and at this point it doesn't matter how many classes I take or how well I do - my gpa doesn't really move (when you have a full load of credits you don't turn a drop form in for which turn into F's really hoses your GPA)
-79% MCAT
-Top 10% at UW with a 3.72cGPA & 3.8sGPA for 3+ years while working full time
-Have hundreds of hours of community service (started a pet therapy program at our hospital and trained one of our dogs so we vol at infusion center and palliative care, among many others)
- hundreds of hours of meaningful shadowing
- worked in the OR managing a $2 mil sterile core (tissue and supply coordinator) as well as business (material and financial reporting)of med for 7 years (also super user for EPIC EMR, McKesson, and about 5 other systems, since I was an implementation consultant)
- am on the VAT (value analysis team) for the UW system (4 hospitals; UW, Harborview, northwest, and valley)
- have some research but isn't my passion
- president of 200 member premed honor society, and was an officer for all 3 years
- great LOR writers who I know well so I'm sure they were great letters
- had a first career as a photographer and freelance writer in which I was traveling the world which was amazing, and really helped me grow as a person (this is what my PS is on - how I loved and really matured from my first career but how/why I came to medicine)
The feedback I have received was from ADCOMs that I know through one way or another (family connection, met at a conference, etc). Had more than one look at my whole app, and generally the feedback from them was; AMCAS GPA is the entirety of my issue and it would come down to getting someone who would look more into my story then the initial picture. Kinda is what it is at this point. Like a said a year isn't going to do anything for me at least.
