Hey everyone! I've done a post like this before but not with much response. I need some success stories to see where I stand and what I need to do to improve my application. I know adcoms look at the whole package but need an idea. If you can answer the following questions that would be...

Hello, I am a non traditional student. This past fall I returned to school in hopes of one day attending medical school. However, 11-12 years ago I received Ds, Cs, and an F my first semester playing college basketball. The following semester, I received all Fs instead of Ws for an entire...

Hi everyone, I'm going to be graduating with a BS in Physics from state university this spring, and I'm interested in going to medical school. I have a low overall GPA, ~2.7, and an even lower core GPA, ~2.5. I haven't taken the MCAT yet, but I have begun doing some light studying. I have two...

Hi all, I currently have a sub 3.0 gpa (2.8s 3.0c) with retakes. Obviously, with DO grade replacement gone, I think my only option is to do an SMP or Masters program. However, I haven't been able to find quality programs that accept lower than a 3.0. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in...

Hi everyone, new poster, I've read the rules but do bear with me if I'm missing something. I applied to this application cycle late. I know, I know, around these forums it's almost unanimously agreed that applying late is essentially application suicide, but I was told by my undergraduate...

Hi! I have completed my bachelors of science in biology and didn't do so well the first time around (my sister passed away and I had a difficult time focusing on school, and my grades didn't end up being a priority - looking back, I probably should have taken some time off, but I didn't.)...

I'm sorry if this gets long but I want you to get an accurate description of my situation and hopefully get some meaningful feedback and tips. I went through a lot of personal issues during my Freshman and Sophomore year and consequently did poorly and had to retake classes in order to move on...

So I may be in a position where I fail out of nursing school. What are my chances of getting into a medical school with a high science GPA, high mcat score, but low overall GPA?? My friends in medical school are looking at my coursework and have said that my material is more difficult in some...

I am in my 4th year of undergrad and I'm still Pre Vet. When ilI tell people that I am still Pre Vet, they have a questionable look in their eyes, like I shouldn't be pre vet. Why? Well, I've retaken the entire gen chem series, have recieved mediocre grades in major classes, and I am...

Hello! So I graduated undergrad a couple of years ago with some rough stats - 2.92 oGPA and 2.64 sGPA with a downward trend that ended much like the Titanic - long story short: picked up one too many part-time jobs during my last two years and I was very depressed as a result, but adcoms...

So I am a re-applicant. 3 years will have passed since I last applied. Trust me, even I wouldn't have given myself an interview the first time I applied. Here's what my resume looks like now: ugGPA- 3.01 sGPA- 3.1 gGPA-4.0 (Biomedical Sciences) MCAT- 502 (retaking this June) 1300+ hours...

Hi guys, I really want to get into a good MD school however my gpa is really bumming me out. I have a 3.35 and scored a 523 (131 CARS/131 CPB/131 PSB/130 BB) on the MCAT. I know I scored really well on the MCAT but I am afraid my GPA is a deal breaker for some of the better schools. What do...

Hi, so currently I am in my Junior year. I have one more year to graduate. I am a chemistry major doing pre med (minored in biology though I know med schools don't really care about minors). Right now I have a 3.0 GPA. If all goes well the best I'll graduate with is probably like a 3.1 GPA...

After spending many restless nights reading all these forum posts and worrying, I finally decided to post my stats and whatnots here to see if I can get any help... Every day goes by so quickly and I feel like I'm not doing anything to increase my chances of getting into med school... To begin...

Apologies for what looks like double-posting but it's two separate issues. I'm in my last semester of post-bacc classes and have my MCAT scheduled and am all set to apply and am not sure I will be thrilled with months and months of absolute silence that follows, so I'm just going to list pros...

Hello, I'm 22, at 19 I dropped out of college my first year. Well, kicked out really because of poor grades. Won't go into detail, since everyone has different bumps in their roads of life. I ended up with an overall GPA of 1.3, the classes I failed were law/philosophy/math related, so you...

Hello all, I've been reading tips and stats from this forum for quite a while but have never posted. Now that I will be done with my undergrad in July, I am asking for any and all advice. I know my Cumulative GPA is extremely low (freshman yr) but im hoping that other parts of my application...

Right now I have a GPA of 2.74. I screw up during my freshmen and sophomore year of undergraduate. I raised my 2.0 gpa to a 2.74, but it still not good enough for medical school or post-bac programs. I had some difficult time during my first two years, but I tried to get my **** together. I did...
