Hello everyone! I have a couple questions. I am a post-bacc student. My first degree is in elementary education from Western Governors University, a non-profit online school. It is a regionally and nationally accredited school. However, the school's grading system is entirely pass/fail. I passed all of the classes for that degree however, I am now returning to school to hopefully become a doctor at another University (regular, four year school in VA). I am in my second to last semester finishing a second degree in Biology. I have a 3.97 GPA in this program currently. I have completed about 200 hours volunteering, been a research assistant in a lab for a year (completed an independent study in this) and completed about 100 shadowing hours. Will be taking the MCAT this spring 2016. I am wondering what your opinion is on how my previous degree will affect my chances of getting into medical school? How will the p/f classes affect my cumulative GPA on the application for AMCAS? Thank you in advance for your input.
