Hi! I am a junior that has a 3.4 overall GPA and a 3.03 science GPA. Probably around a 3.4 BCP. I had a bad first year. DAT: 21 180+ shadowing hours over 2 years 150+ volunteering hours over 2 years Multiple extra curriculars, pre-dental club, Muslim student association, Biology club...

I'm currently a Junior and just took my MCAT. My GPA will likely remain constant. Il resident. First generation college student, and both of my parents were born in another country. A large part of my low-end GPA is due to my grandmother becoming paralyzed and needing constant care. I commute...

hi, I am an undergrad sophomore currently. I attend a community college. I am wondering.....when I apply for med schools, will the undergraduate GPA that's used in the application process for me include all of my community college grades/classes...or will it just be my GPA from my junior and...

Hi, I am a pre med major studying in a top 50 US School. Im in my senior year have taken my MCAT's and have already applied to around 20 MD US Schools. I scored a 510 on my MCAT Chem125 CARS130 Bio127 and Psych128. I have a 3.8 GPA overall (psych major) and a 3.7 BCPM GPA. I am graduating a...

I just have questions about my GPA situation. Before I ask, I will give some information about my stats. My total GPA is 3.6+ and my science is a 3.48. My MCAT score is 526. I studied really hard for the MCAT and thought that my score opened some doors for me to apply to medical school, but my...

Been meaning to write this for a while (like 2 years)... So you've successfully managed to make it through pre-med, but with a GPA that looks like rocky balboas face at the end of rocky iii. Maybe you partied too much, went to _____ undergrad with terrible grade deflation, or had a serious...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this so I apologize if this isn't where this is supposed to be. I am currently a sophomore in college pursuing cellular/molecular development. Basically my question is, after a few bad months, is my academic situation fixable so that I can be somewhat...

Hello, I have recently left a Caribbean school, I was part of it for about 1 and a half years when I realized I hated the Caribbean route and the school also had issues with the government so it wasn't doing too well. My grades were good in my classes, but those credits won't count for me here...

Who would you rather pick: Applicant A: 4.0 GPA 300 OAT Applicant B: 3.0 GPA 400 OAT Edit- I added a poll so it would be easier. :thumbup:

hello- I understand to apply for schools most of them will look at science/ science + math gpa which tends to include the bio/chem/physics/A+P as well as any/all math courses I was wondering that if I take a "science" course during my winter break to possibly boost my gpa (and hopefully boost...

Hi all. So I'm a current junior taking Physics I as per the traditional route. We had our first exam and while I didn't score much below the average score, I didn't do great either. In fact, I was a few points off from being in what the professor claimed would be an area of concern. The...

Hi! I have a 3.7 overall GPA, and 3.6 science GPA. I have a 22 on the DAT total, 22 TS, and 21 PAT. I am very involved on campus, leadership opportunities, etc. What are my chances with these stats?

I have been going through many many forums and taking advice from those who have been in similar situations as myself. One piece of advice that I am learning is very very true in pre med is how a professor can really make or break your chance of success. My situation is this: I have taken 3...

Would like an opinion, I don't want to think I blew my chances at med school, but what can I do to at least help my current state? I'm in my junior year right now, chemistry major. Currently have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 right now, and a science GPA of of around 2.66. Last semester I got a...

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some feedback about how to be a more competitive applicant to get accepted into medical school. I'd also like to know what my odds are of getting in to an average school. I'm working on my undergrad in chemical engineering, and decided I'm more passionate about...

I was wondering if it would reflect poorly on me if I took Principles of Ecology along with physics, molecular bio, and human sexuality next semester. I really wanted to take a neuroscience course for my psych minor but I heard that the spring prof is really difficult. I could take cancer...

I feel like there's a LOT of posts asking this but I'll make it short and sweet: I thought I was graduating next fall, turns out I am graduating in the spring with my Bachelor's, which means, uh oh, I need to apply for grad schools and apply fast. This has turned my life into a stressful...

Hey guys, I'm currently a junior and am in physics 202, my last pre-req. I didn't do so hot on my first exam, and I basically have to make super high As (practically perfect scores) on the everything else to get an A in the class. My GPA so far is a 4.0, and since the rest of the classes I...

Hey guys, I am currently a senior student in UCSD and I major in biochemistry. Cumulative GPA 3.42/4.0 MAJOR GPA 3.63/4.0 GRE 154 V + 165 Q + 3.5 W I have 1 year research in TSRI and 3 months internship in central disease control. I want to apply Columbia University and Cornell University...

I had a 4.0 GPA from undergrad and my masters GPA is looking like a B. Will this downward trend reflect poorly on me during my med school application? Or will the grad school grade not really have much weight? I've heard mixed things about how a grad GPA is evaluated.

This is just a hypothetical question because I couldn't find any other related forums. I graduate from PA school soon and though right now I am more than happy with this career and pretty confident I will be for a long time, I feel like maybe 10+ years down the line, I might someday want to...

Hi all, I am just wondering if most dental schools have GPA cutoffs? My BCP GPA is lower than my science and overall GPA so I am just wondering if schools have a cutoff for the BCP GPA. Thanks in advance!

Hopefully this can relate to people who had to fail before succeeding. I failed and retook College Algebra my freshman year at a private school in which I was a miserable student athlete. I understand the MD application does not replace grades, but the DO application does. I have raised my GPA...

hi, I am in the first semester of my sophomore yr in college. I am wondering, with the following info, am I making good progress in terms of setting myself up to be accepted into a MD school or am I lacking?? State of residence:Alabama cGPA:3.87 (not sure about sGPA....ive only made one B ever...

I'm a current junior at a highly ranked state school. I'm looking for insight on my highest school prospects to apply for, I havent taken the MCAT yet, but I'd like to see what to aim for. I have a 3.65 cumulative, 3.74 science in major, a chemistry major, biochem minor and music performance...

Hello everyone! As my first post, I would like to briefly mention how appreciative I am to have a place where I can ask questions concerning what I am uncertain of and trust you all for professional help. :) As for my questions, I am a bit freaking out right now... It just now hit me that my...

I'm currently a 2nd year in OD school. I haven't done any club activities or student council in my first year. I'm tutoring few classes at the moment and my GPA from the first year is 3.7. Lots of my classmates are interested in doing residencies after graduation, and they are involved in so...

I feel like the purpose of SMP is to show that you could thrive in med-school level courses. I have a very strong upward trend where I started out with a 2.3 sgpa and probably will end with a 3.3 sgpa. Basically, my last two years of college shows huge growth since my earlier two years. Would...

I saw a video on Youtube about someone getting into Med School by doing a biomedical Master's program (taking the same exact 1st year Med School classes) at that particular medical school. Video Here - What are the chances of getting in with such program ? Any others with similar experience...

Hi! I'm looking for school list recommendations and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether I have a good chance at UC Davis and USC Keck (dream schools!). I'm open to DO and MD My mcat could be better but Im not sure if it is worth a retake Stats: Community College 4.0 /UC...

Ok.. so I've finally got my MCAT score back and I think it's time for me to make a legit WAMC post for myself.. this is what I'm working with: MCAT 512 (126/126/131/129) 87th percentile GPA Breakdown (I have a very strong upward trend) Freshman - 2.1 GPA, 1.8 sGPA (Former University) Running...

Hello everyone! I have been scouring forums from past years, trying to get an understanding of OU's timeline for interview offers and other application dates. I thought I would start a thread where people can discuss their information and personal experience from this application cycle (for...

Hi all, I just took my MCAT in July and got a 514 - 128 chem/phys, 126 cars, 130 bio, 130 psych. I have a 3.36 overall GPA from UVA but it shows a marked incline (got a 3.8 the last semester). Very involved with research (clinical and lab) and scribing. I think I will have good LORs as well...

So, my transcripts were verified today (yippee!) but there was a small issue with my GPA. The OTCAS overall GPA was the same as my GPA as calculated by my university BUT I did not know they also break down the GPA by subject matter! My overall gpa is a 3.85 and the subject GPAs range from...

A few summers ago I took some prerequisite coursework at a college, but ended up doing very poorly. I have since re-taken those classes and received an A. The only coursework I have taken at this school was those two classes. If I just don't submit my transcript from that school, will I be...

Hello everyone. I'm very grateful for the SDNers. I hope to support the forum financially one day. Please extend me your advice. Me: I'm about 30 years old. White American. Texas resident. Had a financially secure upbringing. Somewhat lazy in my early 20's, now more focused. I get along well...

I have a 2.78 GPA and 74 PCAT score, what are my chances of getting into a school? If there is a chance how stellar do my other factors need to be? Constructive replies appreciated.

I could use as much help as I can get, thanks everyone!! So, I'm currently in my last year in my undergrad in Ontario,Canada and my GPA isn't the absolute best.. but could be worse. I am planning on applying to Optometry school this year for the September 2018 year, and I know the registration...
