I graduated spring of 2018 with a 2.88 sGPA and 3.01 cGPA. (Took the MCAT in spring 2018 also and got 506).
I made the mistake of applying that cycle to medical school, somehow I got interviews from my two in-state MD's but that's it, and got rejected post-interview. One told me I need to raise my sGPA(not surprising) and the other did not give me feedback. I did not do much in my gap year besides work and volunteer. (mistake).
The reason for my poor sGPA is not knowing what I want to do my first few years of college (took my 6 years to graduate) and during that time I did a lot of damage to my sGPA, but the last 2-3 years have been 3.6+ and I do not have a problem with science classes, it was just my own lack of effort and accountability at the time that brought me down.
I am currently doing a DIY post-bacc, taking 30 credits (between fall 19 and spring 20) planning to get a 4.0 (so far so good) and applying to medical school 2020-2021 cycle. I was wondering if I should also apply to post-bacc programs or a structured MHS program so that.
What are some of my options here?
