Hey everyone, so I scored very well on my MCAT; 519 which was 98 percentile. However, my GPA is very average at a 3.66cGPA and about 3.5 sGPA. This is due mostly to a bad freshman year. I have a very significant upward trend with my last 3 semesters being a 3.87, 4.0 and 3.95. My...

Hi all, I just had a quick question about the ways adcoms look at GPAs. I heard from someone that if you apply early, that ADCOMs will look at GPA by semester, which is really important in my case when looking at my stats: (but if you apply later then they just look at stats as a whole) At...

I'm a rising senior applying this summer. I know my numbers are subpar for most MSTPs, but I've been encouraged by my research mentor to just go ahead and try. He said all it takes is one acceptance. My adviser said not to apply, but I don't think they're right. I know that since it's such a...
