Hi all,
Hope you are doing well. I am planning on doing a post bacc at Dominican University this fall. I recently applied to DO schools but am now looking to apply to MD schools after scoring a 30 on my most recent MCAT. Now my MCAT may be great but I'm pretty sure my AMCAS science gpa will suck (let's just say it was a 2.99 on AACOMAS, and that's having retaken two pre med courses).
I know that by the end of the program, god willing, I will be successful, and that my science gpa will increase a lot to the point that it will be competitive. I know that if I apply to MD schools next year, I'll have a competitive application. But I don't want to go through another cycle and wait another year, so here's my question.
There are only two schools I can apply to that I can realistically include the grades of the courses I will take this fall semester into my primary app and into the amcas gpa. For every other school, the most I can say is that I am taking them. But I can't provide a grade. So here's my question: will medical schools look at the post bacc transcript if I apply this fall if I sent it separately after the semester ends? Will they ask to see the transcript? I hope this makes sense. Basically, I want to show these MD schools my fall semester transcript so that they can give me chance to compete for a spot (that's of course, if I'm successful which I plan to be). I'm wondering, if I apply, whether I'd get that opportunity to show that despite the primary application deadline well past.
Hope this makes sense.
