Hey guys! I’m a non-traditional student, I graduated in 2020 with a major in Biological Sciences. I’ve taken the MCAT twice, both attempts did not hit the 500. I’m in the middle of studying for my test right now but I haven’t been seeing the progress that I want. My science gpa is a 2.91 for amcas, cgpa is 3.01. And for aacomas, it’s 3.0 and cpga 3.2. My question is would you guys recommend I do a special master’s program this upcoming fall? Or take DIY classes to increase my gpa, I’m really conflicted. The program I was looking at is Ponce health sciences in Saint Louis and the admissions person told me that only the top 20% make it to get an interview to the medical school. I have only this week to make the decision since classes start on July 31st.
