Medical Should I apply according to cGPA or recent?

[Question]

I had low GPA 15 years ago at a cc when I was young (2.7) which combined with my current recent coursework at a uni to make a cGPA of 3.5ish. But my recent coursework is a bachelors of 3.71 and prerequisites of 4.0. Since many schools say they only look at grades from last few years, should I apply to schools based on my cGPA or my recent GPA which better reflects my abilities?
Thanks!

Some schools will take you do to the total cGPA.

But there are other medical schools that reward reinvention.

If you feel up to making a post in the what are my chances Forum, I can give you advice on what schools to apply to

Honestly just apply to a mix of both kinds of schools. Many will likely look more at your recent performance but there will probably be a good chunk that don’t look that closely

Apply broadly imo

Start with the schools nearest to you according to state residency and see how they would view your academic history.

Good recent work! Congrats. Apply broadly and you may get some bites.
