I hear everyone ask about significant upward GPA trend, but can someone clarify how significant that really needs to be? For example, my GPA by year is 2.94, 3.08, 3.61, and 4.0 (although senior year isn't a lot of credits). Would this be considered significant enough? For reference, MCAT is 520 (130/131/130/129).
I also plan on taking some postbacc classes this year, so I can keep improving my application. So far, its looking like I'll only be able to take about 10-12 credits throughout the full year, with 6 completed this summer (both As) for a total of 18 credits. Assuming I do well enough, would this be an alright DIY postbacc, or would it be more helpful to continue doing more semesters worth of coursework. Since I'm working full time, I doubt I'd be able to handle more than 2 night classes per semester just by sheer time constraint.
Thanks for your help everyone! I appreciate it.
