Hey all! I'm a third year, going to be a fourth in the next school year, and I'm kind of freaking out. Help me out? My GPA is not competitive enough (2.97 cumulative) and I'm worried about getting into PT schools. Of course, I'm busting my ass off already trying to get it to a 3.0, but I want...

Hi there guys. First thread. Tried to search through previous forums but some new policies have changed so haven't seen anything updated. I have a 2.9 sGPA, 3.1 cGPA. Taking the MCAT in July. I'm really intent on either MD or DO. I was actually relying on DO's grade forgiveness policy but...

Hey, there! I'm going to be typing this in a rush since it's nearly 2:30 am and I have to wake up at five for school. Anyways, I just want to start off with a little about me (note: "little" is an understatement). If you're willing to read, then please do so. I honestly don't know what to do. I...

I realize the whole "I have a low science gpa, am I going to get in?!" topic has been brought up a million times on SDN, but I think that my goals and aspirations might make my situation a little bit different. So basically my situation is that I just graduated from West Chester University with...

This is yet again another freshman with anxiety spiking towards the roof. I, unfortunately, have a horrid history when it comes to studying and not knowing how to take proper notes. Due to this, my GPA is a 3.0 as a Bio and English Dual Major. I know this may not sound horrible as most GPA's but...

Hi everyone, This is my first time using Student Doctor although I have read many of the forums. I find what everyone does here so helpful and calming as I know we're all very anxious, nervous, and stressed when it comes to applications for PT school. As my title suggests, I am looking to...

I am applying in the 2017-2018 cycle for dental school and I am a bit nervous I won't get in anywhere. I am new to this forum, but I was wondering if there are any other student-athletes out there that are applying/have applied and got in... Do they understand a slightly lower GPA? Here's...

If I can get my cGPA and sGPA to a 3.4-3.5 after a year/year and a half during a post bacc, would it still be worth it to do a SMP? Or should I just shine through with my ECs, and apply DO and "low tier"?

Hey everyone, I wanted to come here and ask for a *thoughtful/meaningful/considerate* response to a 'situation' I am thinking about. So during the first few years of my undergrad career, I had very low self-efficacy. As a result, my grades were average and during one specific semester, quite...

This is my first time using this website, please excuse me if I post this in the incorrect area. I was wondering how hard will it be to recover from my GPA mistakes... and if there is any slight chance of getting accepted to med-school. Right now I'm thinking of majoring in french (I'm fluent...

I'm a junior at michigan state Uni, (grades are calculated by 4(A), 3.5(AB), 3(B), 2.5(BC), etc). Basically, after my terrible freshman year (that I got a 2.8), I've been on an upward trend towards the 3.31c GPA that I have now (I know, still bad but I was hoping I could raise it to a 3.4~ish...

I'm making an MD school list that might be friendly to underdogs... I have made a DO list already because I'm more knowledgeable about their admissions. I spent the other day going through the new MSAR and selecting every school that has no minimum GPA, and/or low posted minimum GPA. I took the...

I'm a junior at Beverly Hills High and my gpa is looking pretty iffy. In the low 3 range on a 4.0 scale (unweighted). My main problem is that I've always stretched myself too thin and taken a lot of honors/AP courses. Last year I got a 4 on AP Biology. This year I am taking AP Lang and AP US...
