Okay, so I have been dealing with a bit of a problem these last few months. I'm currently enrolled in a four year school as a biology major, having most of my general education requirements and basic science courses (Bio, Gen Chem) out of the way. I'm now going into my Sophomore year at the...

Hey all, I'd like to consider myself a non-traditional student. I recently graduated from a top 50 University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Unfortunately, I didn't do too well, which can be attributed to the severe depression I was dealing with, in addition to not wanting to do...

Hi guys I am seriously worried about my bad looking graduate transcript. 5 years ago I have been enrolled in a graduate program of landscape architecture. And I actually dropped from school, left some courses not finished nor withdrawn. My biggest regret.... Now on that transcript I have: 2...

Hey guys!!

Hey everyone, I am in the process of studying for the MCAT to take it for the first time in September! I am focusing hard on scoring well, since my GPA is less than stellar. I did very poorly my freshman year, below a 3.0 poor, but have a considerable upward trend (ending with Dean's list this...

Hi, I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke majoring in biomedical engineering. My goal is to attend USUHS medical school, but my engineering coursework took a real hit on my GPA, (~3). I am looking into ways to raise my GPA, such as post-bacc programs. If I were to raise it to a more...

Hey everyone I just finished my freshman year at my university and I am freaking out because my GPA was not nearly as high as it should be. I am a pretty good student- make mostly As and Bs, unfortunately math killed my GPA (C+ in pre calc and D in calc). My cumulative GPA is a 2.9, awful I...

Hey Guys , so i am currently a junior in undergrad and I am really confused and nervous. My freshman year of college was kinda turbelent. My first semester i did ok. Mostly B's. But then my second semester i failed a pre-calc class and took it over in the summer but i got really sick in the...

I am currently a rising junior and have to make a decision soon about whether or not I should be taking a gap year prior to applying to medical school. This past semester I suffered from 2 concussions causing my GPA to drop, for this past semester alone my GPA will be at best a 3.1, dropping my...

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and am looking for supportive and honest advice. I am a college senior majoring in psychology and will receive my BA in December. At this present time my major GPA is 3.5 and my cumulative GPA is 3.4. In the spring of last year, I withdrew from chemistry 102...

Hey everyone, To get it out of the way, here are my current stats cGPA: 3.30 sGPA:3.07 MCAT: 31 I've done a lot of searching on this topic on my own, but I feel that my case is specific enough to warrant its own post. I am currently a 4th year Psychology major and was (originally) planning on...

So I have a pretty average gpa for DO schools: cumulative: 3.51, science: 3.36, but most of my prereqs just barely make it. I used easy science courses to inflate my gpa. If I do decently well on mcat (510+) will I still be competitive? Or do my poor grades in pre reqs keep me from being...

I'm currently a junior bio student. I've done terribly in my science classes so far, and I know that. I'm trying to keep moving forward. I want to do a postbacc program after graduation, but I'm afraid my gpa is too low. My overall gpa so far: 3.03 My science gpa so far: 2.4-2.5 Genchem1: A...

Hi currently I am a student who was dismissed from NYU due to a really low GPA of 1.8 and enrolled/transferred into Bergen Community College in the hopes of getting better grades and proving to NYU that I am capable of doing well in school.

I've suffered from a major depressive episode for the last year, but after being put on medications, things are looking up. I truly love medicine and want to work with the underserved, however, I'm not sure if I'm too deep in the hole to be considered for any programs. Is there any hope? I am...

Hey guys I was interested in receiving some feedback on the situation I'm in as I couldn't seem to find much information anywhere else. I graduated from my undergrad institution with dual bachelor's degrees in animal science and molecular/cellular biology with a 3.91 GPA. I decided to pursue a...

Will this letter do you in? Almost everybody has a dark spot on their GPA. Usually it’s a failed class or a semester of poor grades. But lately, I’ve received several queries about how a “W” on your transcript will affect your chance of admission to medical school. The truth is that...

I'm typing this on my phone, so I apologize if it is written poorly: It wasn't until after I graduated with a bachelor's degree in marketing from a state school in 2011 that I realized my real dream was to become an OT. So, I had what I would call a slow start to my path to becoming an OT: MY...

Hi every body, I'm currently a 2nd year student at Rutger's University and aspiring to be a Radiologist. I was wondering if any med students or anybody in general went through my situation. My GPA is currently really bad (2.7) and I know it's going to drop more for this semester because I'm...
