low gpa

Hello everyone! I'm preparing to reapply to medical school, as I sit on the waitlist of the one school which interviewed me last cycle. I would be grateful for your advice on one pivotal question: Should I reapply this year (i.e. in the next two weeks), or should I wait one more year to amass...

I'll try to keep this short! I know with my current stats I have almost no chance of acceptance anywhere. I was never planning on applying this cycle, I was looking to either get a masters or retake classes and diversify my experience, but part of me just wants to apply for the experience of it...

Back in 2016 I went to college as a teenager because I had nothing better to do. I hated it (still do, but at least I have specific goals now). I managed a 2.8 GPA in my first semester, and a whopping 0 in my second on because I didn't officially drop my classes after I stopped attending...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a bit of advice as I plan on applying this upcoming cycle, May 2026, as well as some advice about the school list! I realize that I have not taken the MCAT just yet, but I have studied quite a bit thus far and have taken 1 FL, and I am using that as the metric. I...

Hello. I graduated from university summer of 2024 with a cgpa of 2.78 and sgpa of 2.44. My transcript is really a mess, unfortunately, as I struggled throughout college for various life reasons + personal irresponsibilities. I know that I am in big need of reinvention, so I am currently doing a...

I'm in my late 30's looking to make a switch to medicine. Always had a passion for it, but some earlier circumstances got in the way and prevented me from achieving it. Questions: I know I need a post-bac for sure, or should I also consider completing a full B.S. in Bio? Or just do the...

My undergrad sGPA is really low, around a 2.2. I had really bad study habits coming into university, there's nothing else I can say about that. I had a few decent high level classes like Physics 2, Bio 2 and Chem 1 but other than that it's been bad. I want to take a bunch of 3-4 credit science...

Not sure how to approach doing a DIY postbacc, SMP, or applying 2025 I feel like having one low dip in your GPA is a red flag, so I was wondering how screwed I would be with 2 dips. The first GPA dip occurred while taking dual credit classes in high school (didn't really take school seriously...
