Hi, just seeking some advice (yes, I have a pre-health advisor, I am just curious/interested to hear other perspectives). Anyways, I'm a senior at the University of Colorado and graduating in May. 3.55 GPA and 512 mcat (took it in August). Beyond that, I have some clinical experience as an ER...

Hello everyone, So I am planning to take my mcat this april and have taken a few practice tests scoring above a 508 each time and have been getting better each time. I have volunteered with various societies in cancer research, have about 2 years of lab experience, can speak 3 languages...

Hi everyone! I am new to this community, and I am planning on applying to PT school this coming up summer. I was hoping that some of the seasoned students that have gone through the process can give me their advice and opinion. First off, do I even have a chance? My cumulative GPA is decent...

I haven't taken the grad school tests or graduated yet, but I'm wondering what I can hope for with good scores. I have around a 2.9 from Johns Hopkins University. With great test scores could I get into a good grad program or good post-bacc??

Hello, I wanted to start a thread for any advice or alternatives for those of us who were depending on Grade Replacement GPA calculation offered by AACOMAS. Albeit, at this point I'm heart broken so I have no problem dropping my poor scores. Thanks for your honesty and advice! Age: 26...

I promise this is not a troll post (maybe a bit neurotic...). Anyways, my cGPA is 3.79, and I scored a 525 on the MCAT. I'm assuming my MCAT score "compensates" for the below average -- for top 20's, that is -- sGPA? I'm assuming that I'm competitive in the other aspects (research, volunteering...

I am currently ending my first semester at a CSU, but am very unhappy here. I ended the semester with good grades, considering it being my first semester, 2 A's and 2 B's. I have made the decision to transfer out of the university, because I don't feel comfortable here and would much rather have...

Hi all, I'm currently a junior undergrad. I have a 3.8 GPA overall with a 3.69 for my science pre-reqs. My science classes have been mostly A-'s with a few A's and one solid B (Physics II). I currently have 300 out-patient hours, and I am slated to gain 300 more before I apply, including some...

So, I'm currently a junior as a biochem major. When I was still attending my first school, I absolutely wasn't looking ahead to my future, so I completely lacked any type of passion in attending school. It's not that I didn't know the material, I would just decide not to do any type of homework...

Hey everyone! I'm hoping that yall can provide me with some words of wisdom and guidance.. Here's my story.. I am 20 years old majoring in biology my GPA is a 2.89 and I had a horrible sophomore year due to family reasons. I have retaken MANY classes to make up for the bad year I had but as...

My paternal grandfather received his medical degree from West Virginia University and then was an attending/professor of radiology at the University of Virginia for about 40 years. He's retired now, but I think he's still a donor, though I'm not entirely certain. Also, both of my paternal...

Hi, guys. So I have been reading on on all about importance of GPA and everything but what are my chances if my SLHS GPA is barely above 3 but overall GPA is 3.5? I feel like I should have good chances because I have a unique interest in the field, I was involved with international hearing aid...

So, I know that this question is asked a lot, but it is a rather personal one that I have already done hours of research on and would like a diverse perspective! Here are my current stats: Neuroscience Major, Completed Spanish Minor GPA: 4.0 MCAT: Not yet taken (will take this summer, already...

Hello all, I just got a test grade back in my Genetics class that means I'll likely end up with a B, B+ or A- in the class overall, and I was just wondering how everything shaped up so far. This has likely been covered in a different thread, if so, just LMK and I will check it out. Just a bit...

Hey Guys! I'm currently a senior in college and I'm planning to apply to Occupational Therapy school in 2017 for the Fall 2018 cycle. I'm a little concerned about my prerequisite courses/GPA and hours. I'm extremely nervous/anxious because I know OT school is extremely difficult to get into...

Hi everyone! I am a pre-medical student in my last year of undergrad. I plan on taking a gap year or two (or more). I am still debating on what to do during these years off. My cumulative GPA is a 3.7 but my science GPA is low at about a 3.4. I think I overextended myself as far as...

I am currently perusing my undergraduate degree in exercise science. I have a 3.4, I hope to end this semester with a 3.7 GPA. I am debating between a D.O, PA or DPT. The issue is, the sciences like Chem and physics are my weakest subjects. I was never exposed to them in high school. But I...
