I guess I shouldn't be happy about all these low gpa's but I am
I"M NOT ALONE!!!!
I don't know how much worse it gets but here's mine.
Kean University (BAD BAD science dept) BS Bio & BA Psy Cum gpa 2.76
science I have no clue, but its should be about the same
Started in 1992 and just got my degrees. It's been 12 lousy years. Here is a good piece of advise for all that have not yet got their degrees: Do not add aother major if you gpa is already bad. Stupid me I started taking Bio courses, because I enjoyed them but never really cared on what grade I got, only 4 years ago when I got a job at a hospital (ER unit clerk) I realized I wanted to be a doctor! what an a$$ I was, at that point I had sooooooo many credits (over 150) it was pointless. Now all the sudden I was working hard on making good grades,but my gpa only mooved by fractions of a point
. Well its done now, close that chapter and moove to a new one.
Last year I attended a summer program at the medical school I want to get in, and met a ton of people, including some of deans and the admissions com. people. Now i keep in touch w/ 2 of them. One of the docs told me all I had to do was take 4 graduated level couses, maybe some A&P (u/g) and get solid grades to proove myself, so that's what I'm doing. I was even comtemplating PA school (since its a Masters program) and kill 2 birds w/ 1 stone: improve my academic record and have a job in case I need one at the end of those 2 years. Well he told me there was absolutelly no need to get into "hell" and spend lots $$$$$ in order to prove myself to them. I'm 30y/o married to a supportive husband and 2 very active infants, so thats why the PA thing was a thought...just in case.
I can't tell you how much I have been thru, well I can but I won't go into to it now, too long
Thanks for this thread, I'm right at home!
